i <3 praha.

I'm alive, safe, and having a great time in Prague thus far! This city is truly amazing...every time I turn a corner there's something that literally takes my breath away. The architechture of the buildings is remarkable, as well as the fact that it is all original - luckily not much was destroyed during the war, making it one of the few Eastern European countries that didn't have much reconstruction.


My friend Pavel took me around the city yesterday, where we toured St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague Castle, the Orloj, and many other attractions. See below for a few photos...

Prasna Brana (Powder Tower) and the Municipal House .


Old Town Hall building.

Orloj, the astronomical clock.


Old Towne Square.
St. Vitus Cathedral (within Prague Castle).
After climbing 258 steps to get to the lookout tower in Prague Castle.

St. Vitus Cathedral - check out the colors on the pillars from the stained glass.


Well, I'm off to enjoy another beautiful day in the city. We're going to hang out in a park near campus and enjoy the fantastic weather!
