Prague!

For our free weekend, we went to Prague, which was a great decision! Despite not being able to find food past 11pm and wandering around what looked like a stereotypic Eastern European city on Friday night, Saturday was fun. We started with a hike to the top of a hill to see the monastery and it snowed! It was barely anything, like what we get in Texas, but we finally saw some! On the trail, there were places to stop and see Prague. It is a stunning city. It seemed as though any picture could be on a post card. We stopped by a porcelain store on the way to the castle. Learning about Czech history was interesting, because we don’t learn about Eastern European countries much in history classes. Some of the things we saw looked like they were out of a cliché medieval movie. We also saw the Charles’ Bridge, crossing the Vltava River, which had different religious statues. We walked around the Old Town during the afternoon and saw the Lennon Wall. It was interesting to read the quotes that different people from different places thought were important. That evening, we went on a pub crawl, which was definitely fun! It was great meeting people from other places and hearing their stories. Visiting Prague was exciting, but the places we went were too tourist based and I was glad to get back to Germany on Sunday.
