Prague is one of the most beautiful Cities that I have seen. It is due to the fact that war really never was a factor, well to the point of destruction. They liked to give up a lot, so when an enemy tried to take them over, they really didn’t put up a large fight. Trey said that the Czech Republic have had more independence in the last 100 years than the all the years before that. We arrived with slight nervousness because we really didn’t know where trey’s dad was staying and trey hadn’t gotten a hold of him in the past couple of days to let him know when we were getting there, but that really didn’t matter because we didn’t know when we were getting there until we got to the train station in Berlin. Anyway, our plan was to get to an internet point as soon as we got there to email him ASAP. But that didn’t matter because Trey’s dad was on top of the ball and was there to pick us up. He had gotten us all tickets to a Czech Hockey game. It was really amazing. It is hard to beat a game of really talented hockey players playing in an elimination game, grimy fans and surroundings, 1 dollar Czechwär. It is the beer that Budweiser used to model their beer after, it is actually called Budweiser in the Czech Republic but Anheiser Busch will not let them call it Budwär outside of the Czech Republic. Don’t worry Tim; Anheiser Busch will always have a special place in my heart. So we went to dinner after the hockey game and man do I love Czech food. It is really Bavarian but it really changes from border to border. We were pretty tired after dinner so we went back to the amazing apartment that Trey’s dad got for us. The next morning we got up and went sight seeing, which included the Staropramen Brewery. Really cool and a lot better than the Heineken tour we went on. We saw some really cool gothic architecture and after a full day of walking and sightseeing it was time for another great dinner. The next day was more sightseeing which included the Prague Castle and a Frank Ghery project, the dancing house. We left back for Rome the following day and arrived in Rome at 8:30 the next morning. Right in time to get a shower some food, and then it was strait to studio. What a trip. I really want to thank Trey’s Dad for a wonderful experience in Prague; it would not have been as great if he was not there.
