The First Weekend.

On Saturday, we decided to walk around the entire city of Prague. No joke at all, we did. The city actually isn’t that large so it wasn’t too difficult [and thank God for chacos. they are my feet’s savior]. In all, we probably traversed around 5-6 miles. It was glorious to say the least. Plus the views and especially the company were spectacular so it was all enjoyable.

On the journey, we found an amazing café, a bookstore, the charles bridge (which should NEVER be crossed mid-day Saturday in the prime of tourism season…bad bad idea girls…), a park equipped with a ridiculous amount of stairs and BLADERS, yes dad and the rest of the parker clan, that’s right, people here rollerblade like crazy. It’s hysterical. After a good degree of aimless wandering, we ended up at the pub. Sir Toby’s is possibly the coolest hostel around and the pub is just ab fab (yeah I said it) so if you are ever in the area, it is a must. check out all the pictures below.

Yesterday was church at Project Antioch and then our team meeting with the syvertson and davis fam’s. Both were wonderful and I think I’m really going to just love these people. PLUS I think I’ve made new best friends. Their names are Clarke and Lucy and Owen. I think I am in love. After spending numerous hours with them all at the davis flat, we journeyed home and had a lovely relaxing Sunday evening here.

I feel like ive accomplished so much that I never even thought about like being able to master running down the escalators to the metro, hopping onto the trams and know where I am going, buying groceries at an all-czech store, enjoying Prague beer (do you know they drink the most per capita beer in the whole world?), and sacrificing sleep because lauren just gets “a little crazy at night.” It’s all so wonderful really.

food is getting tricky though. phil told us today that we are going to “wither away” very soon. we need to start working on this…our meals are quite a joke. oh well.


and you should probably check out christa and the davis's blogs linked on the right because they are here and their blogs are also very fun.
