Last day of sightseeing before the Course Starts


I surprisingly woke up around 11 after coming home at 530am and was gonna meet the girls to do some sightseeing before class started Monday.

Finally I have a clear shot of the Muzeum in the main center- this is are regular metro stop.

City square headed towards astrological clock—does a little show at every hour so we weren’t gonna make it so we decided to grab some food before. Saw hara Krishna performances in the middle of the square—sooo weird!

We checked out St. James Cathedral close by and pictures were banned—but I snuck one picture anyway of the main part.. ohh it was soo gorgeous inside- reminded me of Medieval art and architecture class a couple years back—I wish I remembered some of it! My professor would have been able to tell us what era it was built in and what everything meant.. but it was gorgeous inside

Walked about and found a place to eat- had spiced chicken goulash with bread dumplings that Fran my roomie was raving about—she had eaten beef goulash everywhere she went so I tried it and it was pretty delicious

Went back to the square and saw clock at perfect time- saints going through windows and skeleton man pulling on the cord- no song which another girl said there should have been a song playing.











Went up the tower for 100 czk and best decision ever!! Beautiful views of whole city- wish I knew how to do the panoramic function on camera! Dammit.. I left the user's guide at the flat. We took the long trek up the tower.. we could've used the elevator and thats what this picture is of.. the elevator casing was really cool looking, but we thought it'd be more authentic if we walked up it. It wasn't too bad actually.. instead of steps it was ramps the whole way up. Nifty!
















There is this large tower we had heard of and it has these babies crawling up it. It's really weird, but from the clock tower, we could actually make out babies crawling up it!!



We also, saw this amazing little restaurant on top of a building.. like literally on the roof. It looked so cool! I definitely want to splurge one day and eat up there!





What an amazing though! We were tired though so we headed back home- Fran had a date with this Finnish guy she met the other night and we wanted to get on computers so below KFC is a place Déjà vu where we can still get onto the network and actually drink as we go! Yay! Perfect!
