I'm leaving for Paris on Friday and realized I have YET to talk about my time in Prague almost two weeks ago. Time flies when... you realize your time is flying in Europe.
Prague is part of the Czech Republic, which used to be part of Czechoslovakia. Their time under Nazi and Communist Rule is very important to their history. But today, the Czech Republic is a very stable country with a lot to offer to the world. The people were incredibly friendly and spoke great English.
I remember reading about Prague on my friend Jason's blog last summer, but I wasn't expecting to love it. But I did. Our roommate Bunny's boyfriend is studying there this semester and she had been twice before. Almost everyone I know who has gone to Eastern Europe (Prague or Budapest or Krakow) absolutely loves it, regardless of their preconceptions before arriving in Europe. There's so much more here than France and Italy and I'm glad I'm getting a chance to explore. Eastern Europe is cheap, great for traveling and the people are very welcoming.
St. Charles Bridge, built by King Charles. It's been used since the 1400's. Casual. |

We were just entering Aries. |
The next day, we went to Prague Castle.
The rainbow stained glass made beautiful reflections inside the Church. It was unlike anything I've seen in Europe. |

I'm highly debating staying a few days after the program ends and going to Sensation White in Prague on May 19th. Anyone want to come?
Sounds great! Maybe I'll join you? You make Prague sound great. Love ya. Dad
