Prague Castle Part Dva!

For my Architecture History course, the professor shows us all around Prague. After all, what's the point of a Czech architecture class in Prague if you're not actually going to see it?

On Monday we went to the Prague Castle for the second time. My professor has a funny habit of just leaving us after our tours are done, which is interesting, because we're about 15 Americans in Prague who speak very, very little Czech. But we figured that that would be the worst case scenario, and we'd all find our way back to our dorms.

Turns out we were wrong.

Lots of Stuff! Part Jeden

Playing catch up sucks, but that's what happens when your University acts way too stupid for it's prestige and only gets one wifi router for 60 kids.
Not that I'm bitter or anything.

So what have I been up to?
Well, class for starters.
But that's not important.

I hosted a pot luck dinner last week for a bunch of my friends. It was delicious! I made cookies, one of my friends brought ice cream, and two of my friends made four pounds of modified potato salad (no mayo here). It was delicious.


Academically and Prague-ally speaking, I saw Prague Castle for the first time this trip. It's gorgeous. It's a bizarre mix of architecture, ranging from 11th Century Romanesque to 20th Century Neo-Gothic.

The best view of Prague is from one of the fortifications of the castle.
