Free Weekend in Prague

On New Years Day, we took a train to Prague! It was our first free weekend and our first time doing stuff all by ourselves. When we arrived in Prague, the train station was a little overwhelming. Not very much was in english, but we made it to the hostel all by ourself. We stayed at the Chili Hostel, where we got exactly what we paid for: a bed. It was fine with me. We ate at a traditional Czech place and then on Saturday morning we walked around Prague. The old buildings were gorgeous especially with all the snow. We saw the astrological clock and the changing of the guards at the castle. On sunday, we visited the Old Jewish Cemetery which was really cool. Then we took the train back to Berlin. We arrived pretty late, so some of walked back to the Hotel, but it was all good. It was actually a relief to be back in Germany because I am more comfortable with the german language just because I can say thank you and excuse me.

We've done so much in Europe so far, but its hard to believe the program is almost halfway over. I'm excited for Paris next weekend.

ps. Happy Birthday Nick!
