Prague Town Day 1

Hello all!

I got back from Prague last night but I was way to tuckered out to update. It was absolutely amazing. I could not have picked a better place to travel. Since there are so many pictures I am going to break it down into two parts... so day one:

Jenny, Lindsay and I left for the airport at 345 am to catch a shuttle. We had a 735 flight on Wizzair.

After a two hour flight we landed in Prague!


It's official!
We got to our Hostel at the Mosaic house.. it was gorgeous!



After we dropped our stuff off it was time for our first Prague meal... Falafel


Yum... so delicious

Once our bellies were fully of delicious Prague food we were to the old town center to explore... it was breath taking


So happy to be in Prague!
We decided first day out to take a tour of Prague. The tour was free and took us everywhere. It was so intersting and tour guide was hilarious



It was a bit cold in Prague and the tour was very long so we had to bundle up ad keep warm



Prague Castle
After a day of site-seeing we headed out for a lovely Czech meal


"Chocolate Beer"
Now I personally do not like beer at all but even I have to admit this was very tasty. It was brewed right in our restaurant.

First Prague dinner-- Veggie Salad with a side of Czech potato pancakes. AMAZING


After dinner we decided to check out the famous Prague nightlife and danced the night away at a fun 5-floor club. It was an amazing time but our feet were tired. We had no trouble falling asleep that night.

It was a great first day... and the second was even better. To be continued.



But first I would like to make a small dedication and remember a great person. Sadly, on my trip I found out my mother's best friend's daughter and a wonderful girl I have known since I was born had passed away unexpectedly.


Jennifer “Jenna” Agule, 22, was tragically taken from us on January 26, 2011 during a skiing accident in Colorado. In her twenty-two years, Jenna accomplished more than one could even dream of in a lifetime. Always a loving and caring humanitarian, her passion for travel and exploration led her to Honduras, South Africa, Africa, Great Britain, Colorado, Cape Cod and travel across the country. Pursuing a life full of adventure, Jenna’s interests included skiing, hiking, music, singing, acting and the occasional bungee jump. She was happiest while discovering new experiences with friends, family and nature. Jenna’s zest for life and warm heart continues to inspire her family and friends to better themselves.




Jenna was an absolutely amazing person. Summer after freshman year I was contemplating my going abroad. I had always wanted to in college but I was starting to chicken out a bit. Jenna and I sat in Trident cafe and she told me all of her amazing stories from when she had traveled and lived in Africa. She inspired me to journey abroad promising me it would be the most amazing experience of my life. I would consider myself fortunate if I could achieve and experience in my lifetime all that she did in her far too short 22 years of life. I am so sad I could not be home in Boston today for her service. But I will keep in my heart and thoughts during this whole time abroad and remember life is too short, so make it worth while. Rest in Peace Jenna <3
