The final day in Prague started with a visit to the US Embassy. We met with Mike Henney the Agriculture Attaché, his staff, as well as commercial and economic advisors. We were briefed on the current economic and political situations occurring in the Czech Republic and Poland. We were able to explore in more depth land ownership issues, international investment, and the effects of EU policies on Central Europe.
We had a walking tour of the Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral on the other side of the river in the Mala Strana area of Prague. The cathedral was a conglomeration of 6 centuries of construction and architecture. Several fellows chose to walk across the St. Charles Bridge to return to Old Town Prague to our hotel. The St. Charles Bridge is the oldest bridge in Prague with pedestrian access only and an open air market on each side. Following that we had free time to experience downtown Prague before our final synthesis.
Final synthesis was a celebration and sharing of our experiences and personal reflections on this leadership journey. Many of us reviewed our previous perceptions of Eastern and Central Europe and realized that quite a few of them changed dramatically. Several leadership qualities were discussed ranging from ethics, goals and the discernment of perceptions in these countries.

This Czech capital contains a lot of tourist spot. Many of whom dates back to early and medieval times for example Castles, bridges and buildings which are of exceptional architectural beauty. When you reach this city, you know that you're in central Europe.
