... On the food front we are both making great progress. Jason ate a pizza in Trieste with ricotta cheese on it and enjoyed it. He then went onto eat a cheesecake that a waiter gave him for his bday and cold pate. I had a few bites of his sausage (get ur mind out of the gutter) and steak and enjoyed those too. Goal for the end of the trip is to be able to share a Pizza.

We had more mulled wine (some more than others, guess who ...

... It is midnight and we still have to take a cab to our hotel. First we had to find an ATM. We found it, but had no idea what the conversion rate was. So, we guessed, praying we were not withdrawing our entire account. We found a cab driver and made it to our hotel. We couldn't see much of Prague at that point. Its completely dark and had been raining. By the time we got to our hotel, which was centrally located, it ...

... to be terrified go stay in a youth hostel and here is why. After the ghost tour I went and grabbed a couple more beers and then headed home at like midnight.

I went in and looked around and started thumbing through portfolios and found an artist that I liked. Low and behold, he was working and we talked for a minute about the possibility of a new tattoo for me. Hurray! The store is very clean, and the ...

... Don Giovanni" debuted in the Estates Theater on Oct. 29, 1789. We attended a performance in that same theater, which still looks much as it did the night Mozart conducted the orchestra for the debut. (The theater was used in the filming of "Amadeus.") I was absolutely thrilled, having seen a film version of "Don Giovanni" with my father when I was a young lad. The production was intended to be as close to how it would have been performed in Mozart's day, a decision that created ...

... Old Town Square and walked around, enjoying all the Christmas decorations. We ate at a really nice restaurant because everything was so cheap. I had pork sirloin in a cranberry sauce with dumplings- it was amazing. It was a beautiful night and the city was so pretty. We walked to the river and then across the Charles Bridge- the castle was beautiful as it reflected off the water. We went back to the hostel and crashed for the night. In the ...
