So we got up in the morning, said goodbye to Miriane and her dogs, bought quick breakfast/lunch for the road and set off for the Czech Republic. It was about a four hour drive, so obviously I slept for most of it.
But unfortunately the weather was not looking good. It was a rainy day in Prague. If you know me well, you know that I hate rain. I hate terribly to be in it. My parents don't care- they were willing to do the free walking tour of Old Town Prague. So we found the tour guide with the blue umbrella and started the tour. But I didn't feel 100%. I was pretty torturously uncomfortable during the first 15 minutes of just standing there. I knew that 3 hours of walking and standing was going to kill me. And I wouldn't enjoy much anyway because it was raining. Seriously, I hate rain that badly.
I really DID want to see the city- but you just know when some things aren't possible; so I got the car key from Dad and walked back to the car. I made the right choice. By the time I met up with my parents again I felt just fine and we bought a delicious gyro/kebab-ish dinner. For those of you who don't know and can't understand a difference between a gyro and a kebab- just trust me that there is one.
So- the only bits if Prague that I got to see were from the car in the rain. I'm sure my parents have some good stuff to tell you, and maybe in the future I will edit this post to include it, but for now you'll have to ask them.
I'm sure my mom was a little nervous that I just left them and walked on my own back through the city, but it wasn't far and there was nothing to be concerned about- but it DOES count as something new I have never done before. A completely strange country, foreign language, and I was totally alone. Brief new experience. I've decided to try to do something everyday that I have never done before.
We found the house where we were staying for just one night. I don't know what to really call it. Like a giant condo/house hybrid; I couldn't count how many bedrooms there were- all you could see were doors everywhere. But throughout the night we kept hearing more and more voices. I have no idea how many people live there- it's more like a dorm than anything else. It was a very nice place to stay. I had a large room and a comfortable bed.
Sorry that Prague is so boring from my perspective. You'll have to talk to my parents.
