Prague,
Czech Republic
Wednesday, July 9, 2008
So Prague, like Brussels, has a good amount of hills. We went to a bar last night that was up a serious hill. I have no idea how people drive on this in winter in a stick-shift! We spent the evening hanging out with a few other people from the hostel: Adam, from Andover, MA originally and now living in Orlando, FL, and Cynthia and Veronique from Quebec, Canada. The bar kept claiming that it was playing '70's music, but it sounded a lot more like 80's and early 90's. (I am sure Vanilla Ice is not from the 80's!) The bar was ok, although like most places in Prague, way too smokey for me since you can smoke indoors, and due to the closeness of all the houses, most bars leave windows closed to keep the noise levels down. The prices were good - compared to home they were cheap for shots and beers and about low average for something mixed. The bathroom, however, was really nasty. But thats not far off from what I've had to deal with in the US. Drew, Ashley, and I headed back to the hostel around 1:45am, not sure what time the rest came in.
Its now about 8:45am here, so I am going to grab breakfast and head off to see some art at the National Gallery.
p.s. Since Drew has been spending a lot more time with Andrew during the day, he has far better "Boyink" stories, so he will be writing those up when he gets back to the US on Sunday, and I will get them posted on here.
