Day 1: Prague

The drive to Prague today was very good. We drove through the german
countryside and crossed the Czech border. We stopped for lunch at a
place that no one spoke English. I went to order and there were two
german guys in front of me and I wanted what they got. So I pointed at
their plates as they walked off but the server looked at me like I was
crazy. So I just pointed at what I wanted but she gave me about twice
as much as the other guys. It was good though brats, some deli pork
meat cut thick and some fried meat that might have been lamb or sheep.
I don't know. Me and Tiff got a sparkling water instead of regular
water too, so that was gross.

We drove into Czech and most of it was really crappy. The fall of
communism is helping but things were so bad for more than 40 years. It
is funny though because there are many very large buildings that have
been westernized. Like this old factory that is now a huge fitness
center.

We went on an excurision tonight. It was a night tour of Prague, I
mean Praha, (which is the czech version). It was very neat we went up
to Prague castle/monestary area that is more than 900 years old! The
guide also had some ghost stories and fairytales to tell us. We then
went over the Charles bridge which is 650 years old and an orginal,
one of the oldest bridges to survive WW2.

We are in bed, very tired. Tomorrow we have a lot of free time so that
will be good.
