Dresden

---

Hi everyone,

Mollie and I had a fantastic time in Dresden. We were there for just one night, but managed to see some amazing sights and got a good feel for the city. As you can see from the photos, the majority of the buildings in the Old City have been rebuilt, due to the destruction of WWII, only in the last ten years. The Frauenkirche Church, shown below, was just completed in 2005- the darker slabs are actually from the rubble, while the rest is fresh sandstone, which will ultimately age to black as well. We also took a tour of the Semper Opera House, which was magnificent!

Fortunately for us, my roommate, Jemi, put us in contact with his awesome friend, Rudi. Therefore, we had our own personal tour guide of the city. On Thursday night, we went out with Rudi for dinner and drinks in the Neustadt Quarter, the section of Dresden north of the Elbe River. We had such a great time, and were sad to have to leave so soon. Thanks for everything, Rudi!

However, we just arrived in Prague last night, which is unbelievably beautiful. Much more (and photos) to come soon...
