PRAHA

The weekend of February 17-February 20, my friends and I went to Prague, Czech Republic. I was excited to go because there were rumors of cheap food, beer, and fun pub crawls. All turned out to be true.

It was a truly beautiful city; all of the buildings were ornate and the architecture was breathtaking. 

On Thursday we went out to dinner and then a bar was located under ground and consisted of a network of catacombs. It was really cool to see but we were all so tired we went to bed relatively early and woke up the next morning ready to take on sightseeing. 

We took advantage of the free walking tour, which was especially helpful because while he city itself is not large, the roads are very windy, short, and misleading, making it easy to get lost. I was the designated map person for the trip, and I definitely spend most of my time with a map of to my face trying to decipher Czech words and the maze that they call a town.

We stayed at St. Christopher's Mosaic House, a really nice hostel located near the Charles Bridge. We (naively) did not realize that there would be one other person sharing our room, and we definitely had interesting experiences. The first lady had been in Prague longer than expected and was waiting for her brother who was being withheld in Bulgaria (?!). She wasn't the friendliest and after we came back from being out on Thursday night we were a little too loud and she told on us. We jumped into bed at the sound of a knock on the door, pretending to be asleep. Real mature, I know. The second and third night out roommate turned out to be a"he" and we were all a little shocked, including him, who walked in on five girls eagerly planning the day and night ahead. He was from Brazil and was traveling around by himself, and he ended up being nice. Just not what we expected.

Other highlights include:

Drinks at the Dancing house: you pay for a drink and are then granted access to the rooftop, which has amazing views of the city.

John Lennon Wall. Shout out to the paparazzi: Louisa, Jenna, Kristin, and Kayleigh.

At the Lourve Cafe

CHEAP FOOD


And finally...the pub crawl. Five girl, four pubs, and one very fun night hopping around Prague.
It was a really fun weekend and we reluctantly left with tired legs, happy bellys, and only slightly depleted bank accounts.
