When the lights go down on the city

After a long day battling the rain we stopped inside a market that sold all kinds of Czech crafts such as handmade soaps, lotions, wooden puppets, and all sorts of other authentic Czech pieces.  Just as we finished picking out which items to purchase, the power went off and the whole street lost electricity.  Of course, as Americans we just wanted to know... can we still buy this stuff?

The staff there was very helpful and got to work calculating the prices by hand with candlelight.  Of course, we found this to be blogworthy so we asked the girls if we could take their picture while they finished the calculations.  They were so excited that they had us take several pics to make sure we got their "good sides".  They immediately pulled out an Iphone and found me on Facebook and sent me a friend request.  We promised to post the pics on Facebook so they could have a copy.  

The first picture is taken with flash, so you can't really see how dark the store was.  The second picture more adequately represents the situation.  

In case you're wondering, we got out of there with our wares.  Not sure how long or why the power was off.
