Prague! Prague! God, this trip is going to require a few entries.
Never in my life have I felt like I was completely surrounded by such a strange, foreign and fantastical world. I saw and did so many wonderful and crazy things that my two and a half day trip seemed like some long legendary journey. Ahh, so corny but true. I wandered every beautiful street saying “I DARE any other city in the world to be this beautiful!” I mean the beauty just did not stop. Every street in central Prague was gorgeous. And usually when I’m surrounded by as many tourists as there were thronging the city last weekend I get depressed and frustrated fast, but no amount of tourism could stop my heart from fluttering everytime I looked at Tyn Church, the Clock Tower, Charles Bridge, the secret garden, Prague Castle or any vista over the city.
The city itself was made that much better by my friend Jessica, who I was an editor with at Entrepreneur.com. I stayed with her at a university campus where I met up for drinks and clubbing with a bunch of students there and some of the class directors. And wouldn’t you know it—we ended up hanging out more with the Spanish speaking crowd, so my Spanish practice even continued in Prague! I guess that was a good thing :)
