Hi! We are so very tired so bear with us as we try and recap on our busy last few days! So yesterday blew our minds away. We began by sleeping for 14 straight hours but when we woke up the adventure began. We attempted our first trip on the public transportation system which proved to be super exciting...haha. But really we are pros at it now! Although we never found our apartment, we never technically got lost. After a bit we gave up and took the Tram to the Old Town. Can I just say AAAAAAMMMAZING! You should come! :) Before seeing the beautiful architecture and rich history we only believed this kind of place existed in fairy tales. Yes it is that amazing! We hope to put of pictures soon but they can't even begin to give it justice. In the process of browsing around the town, we found our school, tried to open a locked cafe (hehe), went inside the Knights of Malta mini-Cathedral, found the US Embassy, and ate at the most delicous cafe ever....well so far. By the way, just so you know, European coffee is the bomb...I mean fantastic! Laura is laughing at my word usage because she is jealous...hehe. Ok, so we made it back safe and sound last night and that is when the jetlag took a hold of our necks and rung them tight. Meaning we didn't get much sleep thus the reason this blog is rambling on and on.
So today was not quite as fulfilling as we expected but why do we expect things in life when it is so unpredictable? We set out to meet with our contact at our school but we ended meeting the wrong contact. Apparently Jana is a very popular name here. hehe. To make this a long story short and wrap things up for those who don't like to read long updates, we eventually got our metro passes that will last for 3 months. It was our first day of truly experiencing the language barrier. Needless to say we never made it to our destination, IKEA by the way, because too we were too tired. But however, we have now not only mastered the Tram system but also the Metro system as well. And we also know a few random words in Czech such as black, bridge, hello, thank you, and street names that are fun to say.
Hope that wasn't too confusing. :) Love you and miss you all!
Gracia.
