MamieBrisker - Mamie Brisker

Mamie Brisker I am pretty sure I got my love of traveling from my grandpa, Lee Maynard. I can only hope I'll be able to visit half of the places he's been. :) My parents have also been supportive in my desire to travel, sending me on my first overseas trip to play volleyball competitively at the age of 18 as my graduation present! Best present EVER!
I've never blogged before so I do hope I'll be able to express myself and everything I will be seeing and/or experiencing clearly and those reading will enjoy!

We made it back safe and sound. Landed in Miami around 2:40pm and got home around 6pm. My cats missed me a lot (I can tell). We got to see the Prague Castle and Church. Fantastic. Very detailed and beautiful. Words can't describe so I'll upload pictures soon. After that we got to see the Jewish Ghetto and graveyard really quickly as we passed by on our way to the boat tour. Prague at night is fantastic. The tour started at 7pm with a welcome shot of tequila. :) Then we traveled down the river and ate a buffet dinner. Perfect [View Full Entry]

Bike tour... Europe » Czech Republic » Prague » Old Town
So we didn't do much yesterday before the bike tour. Just people watched and showed Gina some of the town. The bike tour, Praha Bike, started at 5:30pm. There were only 7 of us. My group of 5 and 2 girls from Minnesota/Chicago. They had also came over from Munich so we shared Oktoberfest stories. The tour started out rough. We all got ponchos because it started to drizzle. David, our tour guide, took us over the river and made us carry our bikes up a few flights of stairs. Not fun. We were all winded only 10 minutes into the [View Full Entry]

Prague from bike tour

Hi all, Yesterday we walked and walked and walked. The map of Prague looks HUGE but it is actually pretty easy just to use walking as the only means of transportation. I hope that all my walking will keep the extra pounds I am sure to have gained the past 8 days. There was some cycling event that was pretty big going on in Old Town Square. The streets were blocked off and we saw kids and adults biking through it. We couldnt figure out what exactly it was. There were some young girls singing on stage and playing guitar and [View Full Entry]

Prague- Day 1 :)  Europe » Czech Republic » Prague » Josefov
Hi all, A tip for future travelors.... frommers online has AMAZING "walking tours" that the cheapo travelors can take advantage of and see the sights while learning some history and culture. :) Today we did a walking tour of the Charles Bridge and Mala Strana (Lesser Town). Fantastic. We walked along the Vitava River to the 14th Century bridge known as Charles Bridge. It has over 21 statues on it and we learned about them all. My favorite was the St. John of Nepomuk because we could touch it for good luck! :) After we got done walking we had lunch [View Full Entry]

Hi all, I made it to Prague today. We were on a train out of Munich at 844 this morning. We are down to 4. Courtney, Stacy, and Trey headed back to the states. Chad and his sis went to Vienna. Lauren, Mel, and Gina are in Venice. Me, Greg, Jose, and Frankie are in Prague. Once we got to the station we had a nice man waiting to drive us to the condo I rented off homeaway.com. It is nice and large and has a washing machine. First things first, we did a load of laundry and headed out for [View Full Entry]

Hi all, I finally made it to an internet cafe.... it has been an exhausting, but fun trip thus far. I am going to summarize..... We made our flights on time and even landed in Munich early. There was 8 of 11 of us on one flight. We spent an hour or so looking for the other 2 at the HUGE Munich Airport. After finally finding them, we bought our train tix (even though we have yet to have to show anyone them) and went on our way to try to find the condo. We only took one train by mistake, [View Full Entry]
