Fun in Prague! Day 10


I am here! We made it to the city of Prague in the Czech Republic! I am surprised by the city! It is really dirty, run down and gritty! It’s unique in its own way! It could be very artsy in its own way. I never thought I would find my self in Prague, but here I am! So here the currency is in crowns, not euros. So it is still hard to tell how much everything is! In euros, the conversion rate was about 1 euro to about $1.50 so at least it is somewhat similar, but not in Czech! It is about 100 crowns to $6.00 US dollars. Weird! I never got use to it! I have a little currency converter app on my iPhone and I used that all the time! I did save some coins if you want to see what they look like! I was going to save crowns, but that would mean I would have use less money sitting around, so I didn’t do that! So on to the food! I think my blog posts from here on out is more or less the best things I eat not everything! There are lots of times, we cant stop and eat for one reason or another so I end up eating something like bread and cheese or nutella! I figured you probably don’t want to see that every day! 
J when we got into Prague  then night before we went grocery shopping and we got a ton of stuff: cold cereal and milk, bread, cheese, chips, juice, nutella, and maybe a few others stuff. It only was under $20 US dollars for all of it! Prague was cheap! I loved it! But these is deffanetly a disadvantage to not speeking the language! We got the wrong kind of milk! Or should I say, we did even get milk at all! It was gross! I think it ended up being something like butter milk! So the one on the left, wrong milk. The milk on the right, RIGHT MILK!

we went to the main church here in town and watched the clock go off! There was a ton of people standing around waiting for it to chime! So I thought it was going to be some big huge awesome show… yah not really! Some people came out, a skeleton rang the bell and then there was a real trumpet player come out and tooted his little horn and that was it! Not that cool but I did end up finding gelato in the square! It was expensive and not verry good! The gelato in Austria is so much better!! 
 we did got to the charles bridge that is famious and has been in some movies, but I can’t remember! This is just a quick shot that I got!  I went back latter and got some sweet night pictures of the bridge and the city! 
 Jenni and I inside the main castle up on the hill! It was so beautiful!!!
 After spending some time in the square, we went to get some food! It was an interesting place. It was kinda like elementary school lunch. You told the ladies what you wanted to eat and then they marked it on this little paper, then you give the paper to the casher before you left! It was interesting! I got beef gulosh with dumplings and a veggie soup that ended up tasting like pickles. All of it was different but still good!
 this was desert! It was like a sweet dumpling filled with apricot filling. One had like of a cream cheese frosting (on right) and the other was kinda like butter cream with powdered sugar. They were good but I couldn’t really eat them all… they were just different I guess I should say!
 Then we wandered around town for a bit and found a bon bon store! It was so so so expensive! We only bought three chocolates and it was like $5 bucks! The one I picked out was best! The one with the gold and pink painted swirls. It was a truffle.
 This one is for Vegas! Grape flavored tick-tac’s! yummy! J
Talk about trying to be social! the room that Jenni and I stayed in was the best spot for internet so we had a party! There was also Matt in the corner but you cant see him!
 Dinner! Nutella and bread! I am going to gain so much weight! Haha J but it is totally worth it!
