Spring Break, Prague

Prague.......what can I say about it. Nothing but a truly amazing city, I dont think theres one person who cannot have fun in this city even if your not in the city center. I knew this trip was going to be amazing when out of the blue Ryan, Matt and Dean appeared out of no where [these are my friends from Rome], in addition Mary, Anna and Shelia were also staying in the same hostel. In this hostel there were 11 Catholic students. With all our friends in Prague, this trip would be amazing.

One of the best moves we made as a group [Henna, Tuna, Rican, Mad Cow and myself] was to stay in an 8 person room, now this may sounds stupid but if you end up having cool roomates then you wont forget the experience. When we arrived our roommate, who we had no idea was, wasnt in the room so we could meet him. We ended up going to bed before he got home and got up before him but when we got up we all didnt know what to think of him, we thought he was in the military or something because he had neatly folded clothes on the bed in an uniform fashion, he also had tattoos and was a bigger guy, so we didnt know what to think. But he turned out to be a great friend and will be visiting this easter break.

Prague has two amazing features: The architecture and Pubs. During our stay we managed to see the Royal Palace Complex, which houses some amazing churches and complexes, in addition to the ceremonial guard changing, its very similar to the British soliders. We also saw the Fred and Ginger by Frank Gehry, Charles Bridge and alot of other unique architecture which are unknown but are truly unique.

One of the most interesting events that we took place in was the Straupromen brewery tour. Not to mention that this beer is amazing but exploring the brewery was really a pleasure and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Straupromen has a truly unique collection of beer and they ship it nationwide.

Just being around my friends from Rome really made Prague more enjoyable, drinking with the boys and going to a few other places I should not mention, like hot pe pes made this journey amazing. Spring break couldnt of been any better.
