The land of Czechs was great. Prague is a cute little city and 3.5 days there was the perfect amount of time to spend there. I think I mentioned the food is okay there, but we managed to stumble on a HOOTERS. We decided that under normal circumstances of 1) not living in Europe and 2) visiting a foreign country, that it would be bad form to eat at an American restaurant. But we don't have access to chicken wings here and this was an opportunity we couldn't pass up (because German/Czech food sucks...and I love me some wings!). So we dove right in and consumed 40 of their most delicious wings. It was a decision I would make over and over and over again.

We visited all the big sites there and the city was pretty neat at night all lit up. One night, Kate decided to stay in while my co-worker and I went bar hopping to experience the night life. Beer is super cheap! It cost about a euro for a beer (~$1.30), and 1.50 euro in a more clubby place. We usually pay about 3.50 euro here in Munich. The next day, and Before Hooters, we stopped at an Absinthe place. We felt like we had to try it being that absinthe is huge in Prague (or at least so we though). It was the worst thing I've ever had! It tasted like licorice-flavored gasoline and burned all the way down and bubbled in my stomach. The aftertaste was absolutely brutal. It's a decision I would not make again.

That's our little trip in a nutshell. We have nothing else in the works as far as European travels. I would like to go down to the Alps in a few weeks to try some skiing, but that will depend on the weather down there and how much snow arrives.
