Praha, Czech it out!

So our last two days were spent in Prague, otherwise known as Praha, which is more fun to say anyways. When we got there, our tour manager took us on a walking tour through "old town" and "new town." Basically one part of the city is from the 500's and one part is from the 900's, and since none of it got destroyed in WWII, the entire city is just really really OLD! But beautiful. Some friends and I walked around and found a place to buy absynth for the night ahead. Hey, when in Prague...


After we walked around, we had a free night to do whatever we wanted. I took this opportunity to take a nap. After my glorious uninterrupted sleep, I got up and got ready to go to the biggest club in Europe. But first, the absynth. It was actually not that bad...but very powerful. After about 4 shots, I was ready to party! And I did. We went to the biggest club in Europe. It was fun, but a lot of people got things stolen/lost.

The next day, we had the entire day free. It was our last day, and frankly, I was completely out of money. So I slept in late, then took the train to the city with some friends. We just meandered around the streets, taking in the sites. It was really nice, but so bittersweet knowing it was our last day.

That night, we had our last big meal together at another folklore show. When we sat down, there was a shot awaiting our arrival. Nice. The meal was good, made even better by good conversation with what were now great friends. We also got espresso at the end of dinner. After two shots of espresso, and all the wine, I was in a great mood! We all ended up going to a bar, and soaking in every last drop of time together. Life as we had known it for the past 2 weeks was ending, and soon we had to go back to our normal everyday lives. What a bittersweet night.
