Esprit Prague

... and unspeakably more moving when you are in a country that has this as part of its own history, that’s missing generations because of the atrocities of that time.

We finished the tour, and warmed off at a small café. We then went to Frank Gehry’s Dancing House, also known as the Fred and Ginger House, for our second and final site analysis. After canvassing the outside, we wanted to get on the rooftop terrace, but the only ...

... really lucky and the woman at the ticket counter let us take the next train. She didn't speak any English and our German is substandard so we tried to explain that the S Bahn didn't come and S Bahn is the magic word in Berlin. At first I thought she gave us the benefit of the doubt because we couldn't really explain why we missed our train but I found out yesterday that Berlin is having real problems with the S Bahn. and that they recently failed some ...

... time since we had arrived in Prague the sun was shining. We made our way to Old Town Square to eat our lunch and feel the sun on our faces. The camera was produced and many more photos in Old Town Square were taken. We then headed to Charles bridge and took even more photos but eventually ran out of steam and headed to a non rip-off cafe to get a coffee (or in Darren's case a beer). After having a spell in the warmth we caught a tram back to the room and drop off the ...

... Brits! The only thing was that the campsite had communal showers - well girls in one, boys in another, but communal same sex showers! It's quite funny though the difference in the nationalities, as some, i.e. Italians, are happy & content to go prancing around naked strutting their stuff in the shower, whereas others, i.e. Me, hide out in the corner facing the wall having the quickest shower in the world! But, you do kind of have ...

... let us get on the tram without further incidence. During the evening, Denise, Melissa and I joined a ghost tour. It was pretty interesting and it was fun watching Denise flip out every time someone jumped out to scare us. Luckily by that time it had already stopped raining. All in all, it was a good end to a good trip. Tomorrow we head home!

... included climbing the clock tower which gave us some good panoramic views of the city. After the tour we had a meal of traditional Czech goulash and mixed dumplings. Awesome yet again! Finally, we picked up our baggage and headed for this internet cafe to kill some time before the next train. I'll leave the destination for the next blog entry. I'm sure the suspense is killing you... not :) John

... really nice and asked me all sort of things about Texas. Oh while eating dinner, I also met two guys--one from Dublin and one from London. We had a nice conversation in English. I almost forgot to mention that on the last evening before departing Prague, I went to see the 'Bodies' exhibit--I had been wanting to see it for a very long time. I tried seeing it in Houston, in Vegas but I got to see it in Prague of all places. It was great--luckily they had captions in both English and Czech.

It was time to roll onto Prague heard it was nice and that they sell Absinthes legally that is 80%. Prague is a very nice place sell great food, great beer but the only thing wrong with it is there is bloody Americans every where, walking though he main square the first day and i thought i was seriously in America. Anyways so we thought we would go and try the local food here first as we always do so went to a nice local restaurant and ...

... it looks like we are going to suck.... Well, that's about all for now. I hope you are all enjoying yourselves, and thanks for checking out my blog. P.S.-You guys should all go on my blog and back out like 10 times so i can pass erics total....that would be awesome.. Au Revior, Ciao, Danke chien, Slante, Prost, and all other cool words I've learned so far, Mitchell (For those interested, I think my goatee is approaching 2 inches)

... is on the road. A very funny guy. A very corpulent guy. His face is coated with a full beard. His hair is oily, his laugh wide and loud in the grant red face. Driving us directly to the entrance of the train station, he takes away all our unease. After negotiating and pressing the price down, we rush upstairs to the gates. Our train is waiting for us. One part is going to slovakia. The other to Austria. Which one is the right one? We just enter.
