Prague

Things are going great so far! Prague is like the exact opposite of our experience at Oktoberfest. I'm just going to say that I seriously LOVE my friends. On Tuesday (our last day at Oktoberfest) we all felt varying degrees of sickness. Regardless, everyone remained in good spirits. It is kind of impossible to not be in a good mood at Oktoberfest. Something about being surrounded by 6000 happy singing germans will do that to you.

We spent most of the day in the Hippodrom tent fighting off marriage proposals. Our table had a reservation so at around 5:30, we had to leave. After two days of drinking, having colds, and/or flying on airplanes, we were pretty much ready to get dinner and head back to the hotel. However, we decided to go for one more stein. After trying to find seats in 6 tents, we were about ready to give up. We wandered into the Paulaner tent as a last ditch effort. Miracously, we somehow ended up with wristbands and at a table with a bunch of awesome people! All tiredness went away immediately and we had a great sendoff to Oktoberfest!

We caught a train out of Munich the next night around 5 pm to prague. we got in around midnight and found our hostel without much trouble. Today, we walked from roughly 9-5pm. Prague is breathtaking--when people say that, they're not exaggerating. We actually had a real breakfast today, at cafe louve, and it was amazing! We walked across the charles bridge to a the prague castle/church and then had lunch and a beer at a monastery. Tomorrow we're getting up for a morning in the jewish quarter and hopefully some shopping.

We have an overnight train to budapest tomorrow night. Jolene, Heather, Tatyana and Shannon leave really early from Budapest on Sunday morning. I might cry when they leave :( They're so much fun! But, I've got another whole week....I should probably figure out what else I should do!
