the continued travels blog post.

well, hello from Prague!...
I have officially been in prague for about 7 days now.. didn't mean to stay so long, but plans got changed and i got more time here..

The city is fantastic. I have been loving every minute of my stay here. The city is actually a lot like Budapest and gives off many of the same vibes. It's like a smaller huge city.. you have more of an ability to feel like you're at home on these streets instead of the huge bustling cities of Western Europe. By now I can actually find my way around without a map. I even proved it last night when I was going to dinner. :) I don't have a ton of news because Annie and I have been relaxing to the extreme while we have been here.. Not any museums or tours.. just parks and picnics and markets and art and paddleboats and bicycles. That's about all.

Annie left yesterday to head to Frankfurt so that she could catch her plane to the states today. She actually left about an hour and a half ago on the plane back. But I am not traveling alone. Instead, my best friend from home, Adel, came and now we will be finishing the trip. She came by train from Frankfurt two nights ago. Getting in touch after she arrived was rather difficult without cell phones since the train stations are pretty confusing and there are multiple ones, etc.. but it worked, everyone was safe, and we are happily back together.

We had all day yesterday around the major city sites so Adel could see everything that everyone talks about. We even met this awesome girl from Canada who we had dinner with at this AMAZING vegetarian restaurant.. definitely thinking that vegetarian is the way to go now.. for sure. :) She was a blast to hang out with and had many of the same interests that Adel and I had so we got along really well and am planning on seeing her as often as we can while we are here.. Today, we will go to the Communist museum and buy our train tickets to our next location. We will leave to head to Venice, more specifically, Padova, where a friend of mine is going to Medical school. It will be fun to see him and get to visit a smaller city as well as take the train in to see Venice, but for a lot cheaper! Until then, here are some pictures of Prague..
