Prague

Everything they say about Prague is true and then some! I loved the city, the people, even the dumpy hostel. It was a wonderful place to spend Christmas. We met some crazy Englishmen and spent Christmas making hot sandwiches in our hostel and then walking the streets handing them out to the homeless. I think we handed out about 80 sandwiches! We spoiled ourselves with a very tasty Christmas dinner at a nice restaurant, but then again, spoiling yourself isn't hard in the CR because our dollar is so strong there.

Everything about the city is truly amazing. It is so beautiful that it sometimes looks fake! We toured the city and stopped at the famous Astronomical Clock, Charles Bridge, Palace, fed some swans, and explored the shopping scene - although we really didn't purchase anything cause we didn't want to lug it all around with us!!!

We also ate chesnuts roasting on an open fire and this WONDERFUL cinn. and sugar coated dough that was roasted over an open fire as well. They were selling these yummy treats on the streets of the Christmas market, which was set up in the main sqaures of the city.
