PRAGUE!! (and other sights in the Czech Republic)



























Vacation of a life time...

...is what our neighbor said when I asked if she would watch our house while we were gone for 2 weeks. We just got back from an amazing trip. We were in Europe for 2 weeks! I don't know what could be better! There are so many pictures, I don't even know where to start. SOOOO, I will do one post per country. I am going to start with Prague, that being our final destination. Brad served his mission there and I loved going back and seeing the land where he worked so hard. It is hard to say if I fell in love with Prague because it was Brad's mission and he painted that picture, or if it is really that amazing...I think it is the latter. It is by far my favorite European city; and you'll see why!!!!!!!!!!!! We flew into Paris and took the TGV train (high speed, very smooth, and very quiet) to Strasbourg where we met our friend Marketa that we met in the Bahamas. She and her husband let us stay there for the weekend and it was so fun. We then rented a car in Germany and drove down through Switzerland through the alps and it was gorgeous. We made our way to back to Germany, saw some castles, stayed in Munich and then took a train from Munich to Prague. I would do it all again, it seemed like everything was perfect. I missed home and the American conveniences but there is something so amazing about standing by a cathedral that is 500 years old. It puts things into a new perspective. I won't bore you dear blog reader with more monologue...just enjoy the pictures to come!
