Prague

“The most beautiful city outside Europe” is how Gabriel described Prague to me while we were on the train into the city, and defiantly I agree with him! The city was stunning and so full of life. We had some of the best accommodations we’ve had on this semester yet. It was called a hotel, but each room was more like a house. We were staying right in the center of town, next to the main bridge.

Let’s see, highlights with the Czechs. Well, we had another walking tour with Gabriel, so legit. The knowledge this guy has in his brain… unbelievable. We saw the castle and saw the cathedral and all that jazz. We had to unbelievable group dinners, Lebanese the first night, and traditional Czech the second. Gabriel showed us where a Nazi dude was semi-successfully assassinated. We ran the route he fled from the Nazi shooting him. 

We went on a “man tour” with Gabe and ended in this pub. We sat down for drinks and lunch, but quickly found out that nobody spoke english, and the menu was only in Czech. Gabriel could decipher four words from different choices: onion, fish, paprika, and rice. From that we ordered and I had really good cod (head and tail still intact). 

I climbed to the top of Prague’s mini Eiffel Tower on top of a huge hill overlooking the city and had the best view possible!
