Oh my Lanta!

This past weekend we travelled to Prague. Besides getting lost in the train station of a brief period, the trip went pretty smoothely. The first thing you notice about Prague is how beautiful it is. Everywhere you look, you want to take a picture. Word for the wise: "Camera batteries are NOT everlasting, despite what the little pink bunnies might tell you." But locals are happy to sell you batteries for only 100 Kc a pack. Another plus about Prague is you become excessively wealthy as soon as you cross the Czech boarder. You take out $50 and get 1000 Kc!! An American's dream. We stayed at a nice little hostel called "Chili." It was about 15euro a night, decently clean, but nothing too spectactular. You got what you paid for. But the staff was friendly and extremely helpful, and all the guests there were in the 20-25 year age group so there was always an adventure to be taken. We mainly just walked around the entire city hitting the main touristy attractions and stopping whenever we saw a cool shop. We walked all day/night, but it was well worth it and never seemed to get tiring. Prague was a really amazing experience. Tonight we are back in Berlin and oh my lanta, it is freezing!! We have, yet again, an early morning, but should be exciting. We are going to lab tours at the Max Delbruck Center for Molecular Medicine. Can't wait!
