The four of us, Steven, Becca and Charlotte and I, spent 4
days in Prague. I won’t catalogue everything because I know I am so behind at
this point it isn’t worth it, but I will do my best to tell about all of the
highlights!
The first day I arrived before them and took a walk (in the
snow!) and had some pancakes (random I know) before napping and then waiting
for them. There was a whole conundrum because I didn’t realize they had no
internet or phone service. I thought I heard a small knock at the front door
but I wasn’t sure and it was an AirBnB(so not my house and the owner was home at the time). Which turned out (a
half an hour later) to be them knocking on every door imaginable because they
had no way to reach me. Anyways, once we got settled, we went to a restaurant nearby and
I had my first, heavy Czech food experience (goulash and potato pancakes). Yummy!

The next few days we explored the city: we hiked up to Parc
Letkin which overlooks the city, we saw the clock in Old Town, we crossed the
Charles Bridge and took pictures in front of the colorful Lennon wall, we ate
trdlniks from the street vendors on multiple occasions (even though they
weren’t traditional according to our Airbnb host), we ate more fattening, heavy
food, we went out on the town one night and got to boogie with the whole dance
floor to ourselves, we had fancy cocktails in an impossibly slow cocktail bar
called Le Fleur, we went to a beer hall where a jolly man played the accordion,
we walked miles everyday, we went and saw the Prague Castle, we ate a meal on
the river overlooking the Castle, we braved the rain pouring down on us a few
days. Oh yes, and I can’t forget our whopping TWO trips to the cubist lamppost
(Becca and Charlotte, I know you’ll be up-in-arms and that Steven will be
patting himself on the back that I included that truly unique monument). And
the best part of Prague is that everything you do is impossibly cheap when you
translate it over to euros or dollars. So even the fancy restaurant that we ate
at only cost us about 10 dollars a person (with wine and a huge meal!).

Honestly, it was just such a fun trip with wonderful
friends. We laughed a lot, sang even more, and just had a great time together.
I’ll always have the fondest memories of Prague. Naz dravi!
