Although the twelve hour bus ride to Prague gave us a rough start, I ended up liking the city a lot more than I expected to. The hostile that we stayed in here was by far the nicest one yet. My friend Chris from home who is studying abroad in Rome was actually staying in the same one so I ran into him a few times throughout the weekend. We didn't arrive until 9am on Friday morning so there was no time for sleep. Right away we took this tour that showed us around the entire city. One of my favorite parts was the Old Town Square and the astronomical clock. We learned that Prague is split up into sections each labeled with a number. For example, there is Praha 1, Praha 2, Praha 3, etc. We met up with Ashley who is studying abroad there for lunch. It felt so good to finally get to see her again! She brought us to this traditional Czech restaurant. I was glad that I tried something new. At night we went to this 80's/90's club. It was SO much fun! We all had the best time dancing to the songs that we grew up with.

On our second day there we went straight to the John Lennon Wall. I signed it in both sharpie and spray paint. We were there for about an hour or two all taking tons of pictures. Afterwards we walked through these outdoor markets. We got hot red wine and potatoes with ham in a cream sauce for lunch. For dessert we got this bread that was covered in cinnamon, sugar and nuts. It is kind of hard to explain but it was to die for. I even dipped it in my hot wine. After we were warmed up, we climbed these steps leading us to an awesome view of the city and the entrance to this beautiful castle. Prague was filled with extremely old castles that soared higher than the rest of the normal buildings. After exploring the inside of this one in particular, we made our way back down and picked up some fried potato chips on a stick on the way. Although they were filled with oil I couldn't resist. For our last night we all signed up to go on a pub crawl. I was excited because I had never been on one before. Now I can't wait to do another one!!!
