now in prague

oh my this is crazy. so now i'm in prague and i have a little time to write. funny story, the other night we did a bar crawl in berlin and i met some guys from the states on their way to prague yesterday morning at 645. i was going to get a train at 1230 or something. i decided to take their train but needless to say, i lost them before the night's end. no bother, i took the train anyway and talked with a woman from around prague-ish; a teacher. and i got there and of course, elected to walk instead of take the subway which in czech, is impossibly intimidating to figure out. but after getting lost and a map and found again, i got to the hostel. the budec hostel. ahhhhh relax finally. it's good, and only 12 euro a night so i think i'll stay a few more days. but i was so tired yesterday i slept all afternoon when i got here. when i woke i thought i'd walk the streets of night so i went up to the fat part of town with the charles bridge and what not and who did i see walking down the street up there, right at me? those wacky americans. ha, so we've arranged to try and find eachother today near the bridge for lunch or something.

look up prague if you don't know anything about it, i didn't. but i see now what i was missing. the best word for it is enchanting. cobbled streets everywhere, every building in the greater metro area is just sensational. even the lowliest of apartments have decaying plaster sculptures and such adorning the facade. i'm actually heading off in just a second for the lunch thing, but i'll try and get photos coming later. may not happen here, the computer i'm on is fossilized i think, but i'll try.
