It’s been snowy lately, and while the city is too warm for much of anything to accumulate, it makes for an excellent walking-around environment.  This morning I managed to find the church of the Maltese Knights (also known as the Knights of St. John).  Apparently this order was founded more than a century before the Knights Templar (see the previous post about visiting their winery), but is, alas, also now extinct.  The church is quite beautiful and the Malta Embassy is right next door. Coincidence?

This is a closer view of the churchyard gates.

I walked all the way up to the Charles Bridge, and had it practically all to myself in the early morning snow.

On the walk back home, I noticed this poster in a window.

Neat sentiment, but I wondered if the proprietor of the business was actually favorably inclined toward refugee issues, or if it was there mostly because of the name of the business – Einstein Pizzeria. Somehow, I think Albert would have gotten a chuckle out of it either way.
