Hello all. I realize we have become rather estranged, and I fear this post will be far too short to assuage all the curiosity you are feeling about our trip. But, I will do my best as I sit in the gorgeous Croatian sunset. So, Prague:
It has probably been our favorite city to date. On our first day, we went on the ultimate tour, which included a boat tour with a free drink (and by free I mean included), a three course meal, and a lot of information. It was absolutely fantastic and we learned things like that. The city of Prague paid a LOT of money to build a statue of Stalin back in the day (enough money to build eight hospitals) before they realized what a total jerk face he was. They stayed in denial for around two years, when they could no longer ignore it, and then they put him in a wooden box... Basically a cone of shame. Then, one night, the statue just disappeared. There was no mention of it in the papers, nothing. It just disappeared, leaving a fifteen meter tall pedestal behind. Eventually they put. New statue up there- one of Michael Jackson. Only people didn't really like putting mj up On the same pedestal as Stalin, so that didn't last long. Now there's a cool statue of a working metronome, which serves as a reminder that time is always changing. Sweet.
So the next fun thing that happened in Prague was that Aunt Barb and Uncle Craig came! It was such a great surprise that we were able to see them. We were able to walk all around the castle with them, and have a drink by the most beautiful view of Prague. It was really amazing. Then Logan and I went to see the Mucha museum (awesome),and then we went out to dinner at the cafe louvre, where both kaftka and Einstein have eaten. It was a delicious dinner, and we could not have been more sad to say good ye to Aunt Barb and Uncle Craig. Then we went on a ghost tour and had a few drinks with some other Americans we met. And next is Krakow, where we stayed in our favorite hostel yet. It was called the soul hostel, and all the people staying there were awesome. We went out to dinner our first night with two ca Diana, Jess and Kate, and two Norweigans, jaquim and Oscar. It was such a fun night. The next few days, then, were filled with AushwitZ and the salt mines. Very depressing, but the salt mines were awesome. Anyways, sorry, but that is all my fingers have energy for, especially since I think the rest of the hostel is sitting by the pool at the moment... I'll try to update again soon. Love you all!
Ps I went cliff jumping today. In Croatia.
