Prague

Prague, pronounced Praha by the locals, was such a gorgeous city. Beth and I took a walking tour in the morning that showed us all the main sites in Old Town and the surrounding areas. We saw the astronomical clock, old town square, a bunch of concert halls, the Jewish quarter, two synagogues, the powder tower, Charles Bridge, the castle from afar and New Town. 

Prague's streets and buildings are beautiful. 

They didn't look like they had been touched by the war and that was because they weren't. Out tour guide told us that Prague was Hitler's favorite city so he gave strict orders to not bomb it. He also didn't want any of the synagogues damaged because, being the sadistic man that he was, he planned to turn the Jewish area of Prague into The Museum of the Extinct Race. Pretty messed up but once again, lucky for us because it all still stands.

After the tour, Beth and I had lunch and then crossed over the Charles Bridge to our side of the river. We walked around a bit before finding the John Lennon wall where we took our hippie pictures. 

We then walked up to the castle so we could see Prague from above. 

After this, we came back to the hostel to relax, sit and do some laundry. We ate dinner at a not very good restaurant before coming back for the night. One of the most frustrating things for me about traveling is trying to find good quality, not touristy, normal priced food. Unfortunately our dinner this night was a swing and a miss. Regardless, we still had a wonderful day.
