Prague, Czech Republic

For Thanksgiving we decided to travel to Prague with some friends. It was a 6 hour drive and went pretty smoothly. We heard of a lot of American having problems with parking and getting vandilized but we didn't have any problems. When we crossed into Czech Republic we had to get a vangette that was 8 euros.

For our Thanksgiving dinner we ate a Czech restaurant called Svejk Restaurant U Karla. It was delicious and the prices were not bad at all.

 Rob did a lot of research on Prague so we ventured out early that next morning 

to get a start on our adventure. 

Our hotel is near the town of Lesser so we went to the Charles Bridge to cross over into Old Town. The bridge was beautiful and it was quite an experience to walk the cobblestone bridge surrounded by musicians, painters and vendors.

Saint Vitus Cathedral (Chram svateho Vita)

 Old Town (Stare Mesto) is the heart of Prague. It is home to many notable structures dating back to the 13th century- Old Town Hall & the Astronomical Clock, the Carolinum, the 

Municipal House and the Estates Theater.

Our hotel, Eurostar David was absoutely beautiful! I loved our bathroom! 

It was floor to ceiling in marble and even had a bidet! 

Süßes oder Saures

Happy Halloween!!! I love Halloween but was a little sad to celebrate it in Germany this year. I love dressing up for this holiday but this year was a little different for me because I didn't have a costume loft full of costumes at my disposal. Plus we just moved to Germany and I have no idea where a fabric or craft store is around here. I don't even have a glue gun yet :( But I do have a bazillion boxes because the movers were just here so I came up with the idea of being a Lego couple this year. I thought up a design and pattern and started cutting away. I was very short on supplies so masking tape was all I had to tape it all together. (Just think how amazing these costumes would of been if I actually had the right materials!) I went to Toom (a German store like Home Depot) to get spray paint. They were 6 euros each (over $25 total) and didn't even stay on the cardboard so I had to run to the BX on Ramstein Air Base to get more paint. It ended up being a pricey project but they turned pretty good... if you squint your eyes and turn your head a little.

We only got a few children come to our door this year. It was funny hearing them say "Süßes oder Saures" ("sweet or sour") instead of the American "trick or treat."
