... are walking up the hill, a squadron of soldiers comes smartly marching down the hill and into the palace. Everyone except us seemed to know why they were there and what they were doing. As we didn’t know, it was too late to find a spot to watch them so we continued up the hill to the Loreto. We reached it just as it closed for lunch so we too found a nice restaurant for lunch and had some Czech goulash and some ...

... it was pure chaos. There were people everywhere! Everyone was rushing about finding their train or gathering their bearings. I managed to figure out where and what kind of ticket I needed to get to my hostel. It is quite a challenge to find an ATM, find where and what kind of metro/tram ticket you need, where to buy it and where the metro/tram is.

... to, walk around, and walk home. Walk, walk, walk. I thought my legs were going to fall off. During our visit to the castle I saw... David Hasselhof.

That said, the beer was very good. Then, on to Prague... Kafka wrote that Prague has claws. This is entirely true. After only two days here I can say that it is my dream city in a way, not like I've dreamt about it, but it simply is the city I've pictured ...

... It's horrible to think someone could actually pull something like that off!! we are also found a river side cafe, and market place.. and row boats may or may not be involved... so thats the plan for today, and as for tomorrow we are going to the Prague Symphony that is held at the castle, Laura is absolutely ecstatic and can't wait, and it'll be an allaround great experience, but I'm going to leave it there and she can let you know how that night turns out! love you all kate laura
