Tourists

Once we felt comfortable with our apartment, we decided it was time to head out and see the sights that Prague has to offer. We jumped onto the Metro (subway) and met up with Al for Thai food in Wenceslas Square – a very popular tourist spot. After dinner, we were about to part ways when two Canadian girls stopped us and asked us for directions. They were headed down to Old Town Square and needed to find their hostel as well. After directing them towards the city centre, Sarah and I decided we would do the same. As we walked, we saw the two Canadians again and invited them to join us for the evening. As we entered Old Town Square, it felt like we had entered a new world where centuries of culture and tradition had been preserved. Spires, balconies, and clock towers sprung into the sky and as dusk fell, all four of us went to a rooftop patio overlooking Old Town Square for coffee and dessert.
The next few days consisted of more tourist attractions including Charles Bridge, Frank Gehry's Dancing House, and simply wandering to find the coolest places around our new city. We have yet to visit Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral within the castle walls, but we will soon stroll across Charles Bridge, weave along the cobblestone streets and enter through the gates of the world's largest castle. We are continually in shock of the city's beauty.
