Praha

We are now in Prague, our last stop on the trip, so this is probably our last post on the blog.
We very sadly said goodbye to Greece yesterday morning. We really loved Greece, and hope to get back there some day. If you have never been there, we highly recommend it. It's just a great place to travel--everyone is friendly and speaks perfect English, the food is incredible, and the sights are out of this world. Of course, sunny days and the constant temperature of 70 degrees that we enjoyed never hurts either.
So yesterday we woke up in Athens, had lunch in Rome (layover), and dinner in Prague. Air travel is really something. On that note, props to Alitalia--they serve chocolate ice cream cones on their flights...c'mon Delta, step up!
Anyway, we got to Prague yesterday evening. Our hotel here is incredibly nice and we took much-needed showers. Then we hit the streets and walked around the town a little bit. We ended up eating at a Columbian restaurant of all things but it was good.
Today we took a four-hour walking tour of the city with a really good tour guide and learned about the history of the city and about the important sites. (Really a sad history since they've only been truly free since 1989.)
The city is gorgeous with art and sculptures in every nook and cranny, tons of public parks, and countless buildings dating back hundreds of years ago.
Late this afternoon, we explored a Czech shopping mall and grocery store. Very interesting to say the least. Salmon flavored chips anyone?
Now, we are about to shower and get ready for a nice dinner. Tomorrow will be another day of walking around the city, and then the next day we finally come home. We've had a blast, but I think we're ready to sleep in our own beds and use wash cloths again, and have unlimited access to ice. Someone needs to introduce Europe to the ice cube--they'd make a fortune.
We may post again, but probably not. Hope to see everyone soon on the other side of the pond!
