Weekend Endeavors

Friday Night
Friday we saw some pretty churches and had dinner in the old town district. Nothing to cray for Europe.

Saturday
During the day my roommates and I went wandering in Prague. We got lunch at a cafe. First Katie wanted to go to the Museum of Medieval Torture so Mimi and I begrudgingly joined her. It was gross and disturbing as expected, but Katie enjoyed it. I took no photos because I don't want to remember it. It's sick. It's also weird that all this stuff was saved and there was enough to open a museum with it. To each their own I guess?
Afterwards we went to Prague Castle area again. We crossed the Charles Bridge and wandered farther up into the area. We bought these yummy doughnut things with sugar. We found a playground on the way and the Czech children have such fun playgrounds. There was this seesaw thing and these little carts on a circular track that you could peddle around on. SO FUN. There were also hiking trails on the other side of the park.
We made our way up to the castle and a bride and groom were taking wedding photos and I was so excited. They top my lists of favorite Prague couples that I've spotted. It's a hard list to get on. Most of the Prague couples here do too much PDA though. Way too much. Especially in the metro station and you're all excuse me I'VE GOT TO GET ON THE METRO. Find a less public area please&thank you. Or at least out of the general walking way. Anyway back to the bride and groom. They were adorable. And she had pretty flowers in her hair. I also feel really bad for the guards who stand outside the palace, because they can't talk to anyone and people are always trying to make them talk and take photos with them. It's just weird. Get out of their personal space. Afterwards we navigated the tram system back to the metro and to our hotel. That evening a bunch of us went out to get to know each other a bit.

Sunday
I met my good friend Heather for lunch in the old town square. I hadn't seen her in a while and it was lovely seeing such a friendly face in a foreign city. She is studying abroad in Prague as well. We walked around Prague too despite the rain.
I met Mimi and Katie at the clock in the square to work on our metro station project for school and now its 11:11pm (make a wish) and tomorrow we are going to the bone church in Kutna Hora.

Not a good time. A gross time.
