PRAGUE

we got to prague and a man named Ondre picked us up. (ondre works for a friend of megans) he was nice enough to be our tour guy and body gaurd while we were here! we went to our apartment, put our luggage away and went out to see the city! it was a beautiful day!

Nadrazi Holesovice train station 
St. Vitus Cathedral




overlooking some of prague

outstanding view!!!

walking on the famous charles bridge!
this particular statue on the Charles Bridge had a special story/legend to it touching the falling priest on the plaque is supposed to bring good luck and ensure your return to Prague


Old Town Hall Tower & Astronomical Clock. In the two rectangles... there are statues of the Apostles at the doorways above the clock that come out when the bells ring on the hour  

exploring our shopping street by our apartment..
 later that night ondre and his friend david came over to our apartment. we made them nachos and hung out! it was a lot of fun.
mini bags of gummy bears, CUTE!

the next day we went out to see the city again! it was so much fun! praguee is a beautiful u
this was the coolest wooden toy store it was so cute! we spent a while in here... it was cool to see old toys that my parents used to get me when i was little!



shopping on our street again



the building next to marks and spencer was out apartment. it was so nice!

our street once again, in the background is the National Museum in prague.

Petřín Lookout Tower, they call it the Eiffel Tower here in Prague. you walk up 299 stairs and see a spectacular view! jaclyn and i were the only ones who wanted to do it so her, myself and Ondre went up it was so worth it!






another beautiful view!

my first Kürtőskalács. (pronouced koo-toe-sko-lach) my new obsession. It is dough on a cylindrical spit, drizzled in butter, rolled in cinnamon sugar and then backed over an open fire. seriously, AMAZING! 




the view of the Charles Bridge from Mánes Bridge



after we explored the city we came back to our place and David and their friend Barbara came over and made us Schnitzel. it was absolutely delicious! after that we got invited to go to a party here in prague. we went, and it was a big club. it was way fun to see how the Czech partied but i got sick of it quickly. Jen and I ended up going home around 12 or so to pack up and get ready to leave. we had to be out of our place at 6am to catch our bus so we called it early and got ready. the other girls didnt come back til about 3 am......... SHEESH! i think that it is fair to say, we all had an amazing time in prague!
