The next and final stop on our study abroad trip is Prague. From what we have heard from other travelers and locals on our trip is that it will be an amazing time! Not to get our hopes too high or anything but i was very excited to hear this, exspecially with is being our last city. We had a long morning on our 4 hour and 30min train ride but i enjoyed the Czech countryside for most of the ride. We arrived in Prague around 2:30 and met our guide Petr. He reminds me a bit of my father! He has a very laid back demeanor and quiet man. You have to make sure you are very close to him on our tours because it is very difficult to hear him. Petr then took us on a walking tour of Prague! Czechoslovakia was founded in 1918 but the Czech Republic was formed in 1993 after Czechoslovakia split. Petr then filled us in on interesting places to see and visit before we departed from Prague. He suggested a coffee shop on the top of this hill that overlooks and large part of the city itself which sounded really cool atleast for a picture anyway. We then made it to the John Lennon peace wall that some of our group members signed. We then made it to the St. Charles bridge which was said to be the most beautiful bridge in Europe with statues lining each side for the length of it. It gave a great view of both sides of the City. After Petr's great tour of the city we enjoyed some of the great beer and food that Prague is so Famous for. The Czech Republic the #1 beer consuming country per capita so I think we felt right at home! Along with the great beer I had one of the best meals I have ever had. It was grilled duck that was cooked with maple syrup. It just melted in my mouth but my wallet got a lot skinnier after that meal. The expectations were very high for Prague from what we have heard but the first day and night definitely didn't disappoint!
Gmoney, out
