Ok, so sorry this took so long....finally, here is Prague.

It snowed.

Everyday.

Spring Break/Easter in Europe, 2008!

But it was gorgeous, there was so much to do and tons and tons to see!

First, there was an Easter fair going on. There was tons of good food and we ate lunch there everyday. They had great desserts, and crafts and souvenirs and all kinds of stuff.

Astronomical Clock

i dont know if this video will actually work....its nothing too spectacular


Ok this was my favorite thing in Prague (lame I know) its called the Lennon Wall (for the giant face of John Lennon sticking out of it)


what I wrote is hidden somewhere in this picture....
"this graffiti is feeling human contact both of us lost but for a moment we're lost together I wonder who you are..."
"there's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be"
"not all who wander are lost"


these are the stairs that lead up to the Prague Castle....I was definently out of breath by the time I got to the top
the boys taking a break about halfway up the stairs
view from the top

one of those guards who arent allowed to talk or move...he was pretty fun

my astrological sign on a gate around the castle

Hi!!!

a waterfall at the club we were at....


On the second to last day we were there we went to Terezin. It was a concentration camp, and ghetto during the Holocaust. It was incredible moving and sad.


"work will set you free"you cant see it, but the Star of David is in the background
this is the spot where people were killed. it was the only site of a mass execution - only (in relation to the other camps) people were murdered in this camp



I ended up getting sick on Easter, the last day we were in Prague. But other then that, it was absolutely gorgeous, and really really fun.

Definently a place I would go back to see.

Venice to come soon...
Adios!
