Rainy in Prague

Hello Hello. I am in Prague right now and it is our last day before we leave for Interlacken, Switzerland. Prague is beautiful mainly because the town is very old and most of it wasn't touched by World War 2 so it's structures are original and from wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy long time ago.

We left Berlin on a train and it was awesome because we basically had our own little room on the train. Where we stayed in was pretty similar to what the Harry Potter trains looked like inside. We enjoyed the spaciousness and our ability to be loud Americans without getting weird looks. Leigh had the idea of making up a rap about our trip so far and we were really entertaining ourselves. Maybe I'll share it with you when and if we ever complete it. 5 hours later we got into Prague and it was quite a shock especially since basically NO ONE spoke english! They don't use Euros here so we had to take out chech money. Apparently it is a BIG deal to break large bills and since we all had nothing but 1000's and 500's it took us a while to find a place that would break down our cash so we could pay for our train pass. Good old McDonalds came through for us though and it was actually normal tasting!

We got to our hostel and we are staying in a 7 person dorm. When we first came in there was a 40 year old Brazilian man sleeping with minimal clothing on. Lets just say we were not certain about our feelings of Prague so far...have no fear though, he is actually normal and the other people in our room are cool. One guy is from Colorado but has some extreme ADD and like paces around the room when he talks to us..hes really nice though. The other 2 girls are from Sweden and are very friendly.

Our first night we walked around our area and saw the Old Town Square which was really pretty lit up at night. We went to bed early though since we were exhausted and not really sure of where to go. Our next day was fabulous because we went on the free tour and our guide was hilarious. He reminded us of a mixture between Grant Damas and Dane Cook. Anyway we saw some great sites and laughed A LOT. We went on the pub crawl last night and it was crazy. Prague is definitely known for its night life and I see why so many people study abroad here now! We met some great people and chatted with some new friends. Also, it was Leigh's birthday at midnight so we had fun celebrating.

It is reallly rainy today and was yesterday too so we are just chillin in the hostel today. Lots of young people and Family Guy playing so we are enjoying ourselves! Hope everything is well. Miss and love you!
