Day 87

--I am currently in Prague (Praha) visiting the lovely Linds! Today was a great day of sight seeing and exploring. First off, let me say that the architecture in Prague is stunning. There are countless buildings that are old, and therefore have an old style of architecture, and you know me and my love of old things. I am really going to miss the beauty of European architecture when I get back home.

We ventured over the Charles Bridge, saw the Lenon wall, and made it to the top of the hill of the Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral. St. Vitus Cathedral’s exterior was one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. We also had a fabulous view overlooking Prague. After, we went to an art museum that held two exhibitions, both my current favorite artists. We saw the exhibit of the nonsensical and fascinating Salvador Dali as well as the beautiful, Art Nouveau of Alphonse Mucha. Mucha is actually the artist that is being used for my final fresco piece, and is a native of the Czech Republic. What an incredible and surprising combination of an exhibit! I still cannot get over how perfectly that worked out for me.

For dinner, I was able to indulge in some very-missed Vietnamese Pho. And we spend some time in an underground bar that is pretty much different rooms in a cave. Sounds crazy and awesome, right? Such a neat idea. I love little secrets like that.
