Prague-1

Hi everyone.
So we have been in Prague for 2 days now and it is beautiful. The first full day we took a free walking your around the old part of Prague and then explored the red of Prague ourselves. We got to see birds eye view of Prague from atop the Astronomical clock
Tower in old town square. We then explored the Senate building and saw a white peacock. I never knew there were white ones. It was beautiful. We got to eat delicious pastries like croissants and chocolate, then we had a Czech churro (can't remember the real name) it is cooked on a large metal pole and then when still hot and fresh slid off the pole and covered with cinnamon. SO SO SO good. Look out churros.
You have competition.


I forgot to introduce my tavel buddy this trip. For those who don't know, this is Autumn Powell. She is one of my best friends from childhood and we get to travel through eastern Europe together.

So something I get to cross off my bucket list is staying in a hostel. We are in SG1 Hostel and it is awesome. First night was perfect, then a large group came the second night and went partying all night till like 3 in the morning. They tried to be quiet when they came back but didn't succeed. Oh well. Autumn and I woke up at 6 to catch the train. :) is it bad I'm a little happy my water bottle fell this morning. Not to loud of a noise but something.

Myth story of the day:
We got to see the Jewish quarter and learn about Gollum. Gollum(not the one from lord of the rings) was a statue that was brought to life by a Rabi to protect the Jewish people from hate crimes. One day the Rabi forgot to get Gollum for sabbath service and Gollum got mad a destroyed buildings. The Rabi went out and took Gollum to a safe place and put him back to sleep. But legend has it that Gollum can come back to life if anyone hurts and is unjust to a Jewish Person.


That's all I have for now. Today we are going to see the Bone Church in Kutna Hora and then Prague castle. Ill have more to tell you tonight or tomorrow.
Myth story for my next post will be the mummified hand in the church ceiling. Stay tuned ;)
