Sparta!

Thursday...was GREAT! We had school (not so great) and then lunch with our respective teachers, we went to a cool pub and I had the goulash (the traditional czech style), then Cassi and I took some money to pay for internet and instead of going back home we decided to walk around New Town, Old Town, walk across the Charles Bridge, and see a little bit of Lesser Town. What really made it awesome, though, was all of the snow we got! It started snowing around oneish and then snowed the rest of the day basically. The flakes were monstrous, naturally the first thing I did when I went outside was try to catch them in mouth and I was successful it took very little work. But other then the fact that the flakes were conveniently big enough and numerous enough to land perfectly in my mouth I thought the city was gorgeous. I thought it was impossible for it to be anymore amazing but the blanket of snow on the ground even better!

We took a bunch of pictures while we walked around, I'm sure that if anyone was questioning our Americaness the touristy pictures were a dead give away.But it was really worth it. It was our first time to walk across the famous Charles Bridge and anyway you turned there was something picture worthy.  I really hope it snows at least one more time while I'm here.




Old town square! It was so beautiful with all of the snow, not like its not when there isn't but it definitely makes it EVEN better!

This is just a postoffice, you can find them all over the city! Soon I will be sending postcards from one these! If anyone wants one I just need addresses! 



This is one of the school buildings, my professor went to school here but this isn't my building. Our building is a little way away and doesn't look as cool.

This was the best view I saw the whole day! I couldn't stop taking pictures of it!













Our first time on the Charles Bridge!!!!!!!!!! It was soooooooo beautiful! The snow made everything even better than what it looks like usually (I know I keep stessing this but it's true).

Just another fanastic view of the Charles Bridge! See the person selling pictures? I wanted to buy one from him but those people don't mess around, they want a good amount of money for them so now I'm on the search for one that I'm willing to pay for.



 After we were done seeing some of the sights we went back to our apartment to study Czech. We didn't end up studying as much as we had planned but we did make a really great salad and a pizza for dinner!

Friday...I went to a HOCKEY GAME!!! It was a lot of fun, hockey is the Czech's number one sport I believe. I didn't stay the whole game though, we didn't want to mess with the crowd after (it was hectic enough getting in).

Obviously this is the arena, there were a good amount of people there. We had the cheap tickets but our seats were still in a pretty good spot!

I guess, from my understanding, there is a league just made up of Czech teams and there are 2 teams from Prague. The game we saw had one of the Prague teams, Sparta, playing and another team. Unfortunately this Prague team is the not so good one, hopefully later this month we'll go see the other team because they are ranked a lot higher so they might make the playoffs.

This is just some of the people in my program, it was really fun to have all of us at the game!
