(Prague - Tyn Cathedral)
It's about 7 o'clock right now in Prague. Tim and Dan are in the kitchen whipping up some gourmet grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for dinner. We just got back to the hostel after our final day of wandering around the city. Today, we took it easy getting out of bed (probably woke up around 12ish), and then headed to some tourist shops as well as to a place on a hill where the three of us had a bromantic lunch on the river overlooking the city of Prague. We ate a traditional soup of Prague, garlic soup and it was very good. Tim should be posting pictures of our lunch eventually. Tonight, we are most likely headed out on the town again, hopefully not staying out too late as we have an 11 o'clock checkout time tomorrow, when Tim and I part ways with Dan who will be heading back to Lyon.
Before giving a short summary of last night, I would like to throw a shoutout to the StoriesforStojic fanclub. Yea, the blog has already received some fanmail, no big deal really but nonetheless here are the messages that Tim received last night from Kendra:
"Yeah, we're kinda struggling today....haha. The concert is at 8:30, so I'll keep ya posted on the plans!!
P.S. LOVE LOVE LOVE the blog...Alice and I just about died laughing at some of your stories. "
(15 minutes later)
"ACTUALLY...after further reading of your blog, we just decided that you guys are a good time. What should we do tonight???"
Clearly the fan club has added a Minnesota chapter. The girls appear quite smitten, and it's unfortunate that we may likely never see them again as I believe Tim may have been a bit smitten with one of the ladies as well after the events of the past two evenings.
Now, on to last night. Tim, Dan and I met up with Kendra and Alice, who mostly just wanted to hang out because of how funny they thought our blog was. We headed to a hotspot called Kozicka (in English "The Goat") to sample some of the local drink. It was a solid spot, with a lot of student-age native Czechs enjoying themselves, and prices were more than reasonable.
Last night's notes:
-Maier vs. Dools shirt
(While we were playing Boxers or Briefs Elwood asked which shirt everyone liked better, my shirt or Tim's, which were quite similar. Everyone but myself preferred Tim's)
-Daisy Story (Elwood told a story about how years ago his Dog Daisy had eaten 30 or so snickers bars w/ wrapper and all, and his Dad didn't know what to do so he just took her on a 10 mile long walk. She was not used to to such long distances and thereafter walked with a limp the rest of her life.)
-MY "TICKET" TO HAPPINESS (Elwood's French gf's name is "Billet," which in French means ticket)
-Kendra: Blondes have the most fun of any hair color. It's been scientifically proven. (I've yet to see this study, but I'm skeptical.)
-Kendra: I don't dance.
-Kendra: Fun Fact, I've never done a beer bong.
Tim: That's the opposite of a fun fact.
-KFC, Tim and Mike 2 meals for 2 people, Elwood, 3 trips for 3 sandwiches (Yes we ate KFC in Prague. It was 4am, open, and right by our hostel. Sorry.)
-Tim: I like that we're keeping the jams pumping. (We helped a guy push his car out of the snow last night on the walk home, while he continued to blast Akon for a good 5-7 minutes)
One more thing that did not get written down is that when we were in KFC late last night for some food to preemptively conquer any hangover threat, Tim and I could not find Elwood as we moved to leave. After a minute of looking around, we found him: playing on the tiny horse spring rockers in the kids area (the little things you see at a park that violently shake forward and back), smiling like an idiot having the time of his life.
Prague has been good to us, a definite must for any complete Eurotrip. Thank goodness the exchange rate for USD to Czech crowns is favorable, since while here we all feel like we are playing with monopoly money. Tomorrow, we leave for the final portion of our trip, Barcelona. For me it is more of a homecoming since I studied there for 5 months in college, but I am excited to show Tim around. AND it is above freezing there. 60 degrees F, as a matter of fact. Our plane leaves tomorrow at 14:45.
Currently Dan is sleeping in the lobby of our hostel. We tried to wake him to tell him to get ready for tonight. He said he would be up in a second. Everyone who knows Dan knows this is a problem.
