Prague

So I am in Prague right now and I think it is me new favorite city. It is just so pretty everywhere you go, from the buildings to the scenery, from the castles to the bridges. We walked everywhere today just taking it in. First we went to the castle. It took us forever to walk there because we all stopped every few seconds to take pictures. The main bridge across the river is awesome. There are statues every few meters with incredible detail, as well as musicians playing. This one violinist was playing ave maria and it was so beautiful. The castle was cool. We got there on the hour so we could see the changing of the guard which was very interesting. The cathedral inside was so beautiful. I know i said that the one in cologne was amazing, but this one was right up there with it. It wasn't as big, but the artwork and architecture and stuff inside was amazing. So after that we went to the astronomical clock tower, which is this beautiful tower with this huge clock that i cant read because its an astronomical clock, but its beautiful. We stayed for the hour change because on the hour these statues come out and circle around it and bells ring. There was a church next to it that we went in after that. This one was a lot smaller than the other one, but the amount of art per square foot along with the beauty of the sculptures surpasses both of them. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside because it would damage the art, but i could have stood in there all day admiring it. I would say that so far Prague is my favorite city that I have been to.
