Adventures in Prague

This is late coming, but we got back Sunday night and Monday morning hit the ground running with classes, this week has seemed the busiest yet! Rewind to last Friday: We hopped on our bus and made the approximately 5 hour drive to Prague, Czech Republic. We took a tour of part of the city and then ate dinner at an old monastery. For our appetizer we were served an unidentified meat, we're thinking it was liver. I did not feel compelled to eat more than a tiny bite. We then checked into our hotel room where I quickly proceeded to fall asleep-- I was exhausted! The next morning we woke up early (as always) to have another tour of the city. We of course had to visit a high point of a city for a "panoramic view," European tour guides seem to be obsessed with panoramic views. Next we had special lunch plans, on a boat. Yes, that's right I ate a meal on a boat for the third time since arriving in Europe. Keeping in custom with a meal on a boat it of course rained, but luckily the lower deck where the food was served was completely enclosed on all three boats. The lunch was buffet style complete with fresh fruits and vegetables which I have been craving my entire time here. After that we had free time. We walked around the city, and although it was gorgeous it was hard to see the real Prague I feel. It felt like a tourist attraction, and we fit right in. It was still gorgeous to see though! A few friends and I went to an Italian restaurant which was delightful. We sat and had great conversation over some of the best plates of pasta I have ever tasted. Next on the list was tickets to what we thought was a blacklight show. Turns out it was a multimedia dance show. It was the first multimedia theater in Prague, so still very cool. The dance was modern and sometimes weird, bu interesting and an experience all the same. A few girls and I then left to head back to the hotel early. We hopped on to the tram that took us through some very scetchy areas, but we arrived safe and sound right in front of our hotel. Sunday morning we took a tour of Jewish Prague, then had free time for lunch and last minute shopping or errands. I of course had to have gelatto after lunch in keeping with my routine. As we were walking back to the bus it began to rain, signaling our goodbye to the city we got back on the bus and trecked back to Vienna. It's interesting I absolutely love my experiences travelling, but I think I picked the right city to be in, I love Vienna the most! Maybe it's because I have a phenomenal host and unlimited passes to all public transportation which I now navigate like a pro. (Would you believe me if I told you I don't get lost, and can actually read a map? Beleive it!)
Love to all!
