Duloc is, Duloc is

One of the many Christmas markets
Our friend's sister had studied in Prague so she had a list of things to see and where to eat, which helped a bunch. First we went to see the Castle and Cathedral with the most beautiful stained glass I've ever seen. They were up on a hill pretty secluded from the rest of the city with a gorgeous view below. I took way too many pictures, no surprise. And then we trekked down to the Lennon Wall! I would have loved to see the original painting of Lennon on there, but its long since been graffitied over. There were all sorts of lyrics and drawings and quotes on there and it was really cool. Then we warmed up in a cozy little cafe with some tea.
Cheer up Charlie
It starts to get dark super early, around 4, so we had to try and get our acts together kind of early to have time to see things in the daylight. But the cool thing about Prague is that most of the things you want to see in the city are the beautiful buildings and views. I think it was Ashley who so wisely said, "the whole city is an architecture museum." So deep, she'll be a killer journalist one day. So it isn't action packed with tons of sites, but just walking around the city all day, finding different Christmas markets, and then sitting in a tea or coffee shop to warm up for a couple of hours was so fun. This one tea shop had like a dictionary of hundreds of teas and then areas with floor pillows to sit on (Juj I know how you love those floor pillows) so we spent part of our afternoon one day there. We went to the Charles Bridge, which I kept calling the Charles de Gaulle Bridge the whole time on accident. Charles de Gaulle who of course was President of the French Republic and has pretty much nothing to do with the Czech Republic... not really a history buff here. And then, oh and then, we braved the rainy weather and went to the most amazing vegetarian restaurant. None of us are vegetarians, we all like our chicken and burgers, but I really think that was the best meal I've had since being in Europe. We all got three different things and then just split them three ways and devoured every bit. I would be a vegetarian if I could eat there all the time.

Rainy and cold so we played cards
!Feliz Navidad!
Prague was a great last trip for all of us and we're all starting to get a little nostalgic about this semester. This week we have finals, Thursday night is the farewell party with everyone, and then most everyone ships out early Friday morning. I can't believe how fast it has flown by and it stinks that everyone has to rush off right literally the day after finals are over, but at least I'll have a little bit more time to love on Barce when the fam jam gets here!! First, Mamma Broussard and I take on Seville and Granada and then Pops and Broseph join the fun for a Spanish Christmas! I'M SO EXCITED! I should go work on my paper, a few more posts to come soon!
