Starbucks and $5 jeans

Hey friends!
Well each day sure turns out to be a different adventure! Today we successfully found our apartment and we were excited to discover that it's really close to the Prudek's house! Therefore, we already know the area and how to get where we want to go from it. Speaking of getting where we want to go, we're feeling much more confident on the transportation system. This afternoon we took a trip to the downtown shopping area in search of our new European wardrobe! The atmosphere was so fun as we walked down the cobblestone streets with a mix of old and new buildings on either side. We found some great deals (scarfs, a coat, and later $5 jeans!), which was really exciting. During the shopping excursion we located the Czech version of Wal Mart- Tesco! Here we'll find all the groceries and random items we need. Later in the evening we were going to attend an opera downtown, but we ended up at the wrong place and so missed the show. However, the buildings we saw were beautiful and we found our way to a Starbucks with an English speaking barista (he was even able to take my picky/complicated order with a smile...)! We decided to try for another concert tomorrow night at one of the many music theatres around Prague. 
Hope you are all doing well!
