arrivederci america: Prague

Before coming to Italy, I had never heard really anything about Prague. But it is one of my top places we have traveled to while in Europe. It recently became a republic after being under communist control. With that, I figured it would not be a pretty city but to my surprise, it was so beautiful. We had amazing weather too, which probably helped! It was the first time it had reached 60 degrees!

We arrived in Prague late Thursday night and we weren't really sure how transportation to our hostel would work. A man approached us and offered us a van which could fit all 10 of us. We were all iffy at first, but then decided to go for it. Jessica was about to have a panic attack and wanted us to get his driver's license number, name, etc. I do have to say I am glad we were all sketched out by this though. So I decide that I'll sit in front and if he tries to pull anything strange I'll take control. Why do I do this to myself?! I asked myself this the whole ride to the hostel. So I try to strike up conversation with Milan and I think he faked that he didn't know English. Everything I asked him, he would just look at me strange but another girl asked him how long the ride would be and he spit out perfect English. So after that I'm ready to pull some karate moves on Milan. We made it there safely though and weren't sold to the sex slavery (which is what Jess thought was going to happen!)!

Friday, we slept in (finally!) and went to an amazing bagel shop called Bohemia Bagel. It was a great, relaxing day of sightseeing, shopping and eating. Saturday, we did some more shopping, sightseeing and eating. Saturday night we went to an amazing Mexican restaurant. That is one thing I will never take for granted again. It is so hard to find Mexican restaurants here! Sunday, we went back to Bohemia Bagel and I had PANCAKES! I have also missed those so much too. We really liked the bagel shop if you can't tell and there was a cute waiter so that helped a lot : )
