Czech Mate - 7/8/09

today was our “free day.” since we went out last night, being able to sleep in was amazing. we decided to join part of the group for a tour of the clock tower. The history was quite rich so it was a great experience. I’m always down for an opportunity to expand my cultural knowledge a little bit. After trekking through the museum tour, we were able to climb the stairs to the top of the tower. The view was phenomenal! We were so impressed.

(so many stairs!)

(so many stairs and i'm STILL loving life!) 

Julia, Sarah (both attending La Trobe University in Australia), and I decided to stumble into a little coffee shop and pick up some café and cake. We sat in the small diner and did a little people watching before we headed back to the venue.

We had just a little bit of time before heading to Houpacka for dinner. The dinner was great. The dessert – not so much. I have no idea what it was. If it was a traditional Czech dessert – awesome! But, I didn’t like it. It reminded me of a sour doughnut with tart yogurt smeared on top? I have no idea – it was absolutely gorgeous but not at all fantastic to the taste buds.

Yes, we went out again tonight. We (Julia, Sarah, Jessica, Nicky, Michael, and Mackenzie) figured we should be getting as much as we possibly can out of this city. The 5 Level Club is one of the biggest dance clubs in Eastern Europe. Amazinggg!

Several us decided to call it an early night – classes start again in the morning.
