Prague Czech Republic

Recently I had the opportunity to visit Prague and since I'm writing about it... you can probably guess that I went! I was especially excited to go because everyone that has been tells me it is beautiful..and on top of that, since the country is still in the process of transitioning to euros...I felt I better go before it turns expensive on me! haha anyways, I am SOOO glad I went. It REALLY is a beautiful city. I really think it would be nice to live there. WOW. Someday... HAHAH

I spent about 4 days there so I was able to fully visit just about every "typical toursist" sightseeing area. Went to the Prague Castle (twice.. haha and even had a really nice dinner there), Wocenslas Square (multiple times... LOTS of shopping there), saw the open market, Charles Bridge, Old Town Square (with the astronomical clock, statue of john Huss, many various churches), dancing building, opera house(i think...or some kind of theatre), TV tower, Prague version of the eiffel tower, the jewish quarters, old-new synagogue, visited the parks, sat in cafes in drink coffee and read... etc etc. you name it...i probably saw it. haha it was REALLy good... next time you go to prague..i can be your tour guide ! HAAHAHAH

So.. here are a FEW pictures. Enjoy!
