Today we finally made it to PRAGUE! (Yes I know that I use too many exclamation points!!!) Anyway, we caught a VERY nice bus to Prague for $3 each and also to Andi's amazement. When I told her that things are cheaper here I don't think she really belived me, but now she does. The bus was actually the nicest bus I have been on EVER here in the Czech Rep. It had leather steats, a nice footrest, a tray like they have on airplanes, they passed out headphones and played a movie on several screens, there were newspapers and magazines free of charge as well as a complimentary hot chocolate (or coffee or tea for those that wanted it). It was a nice ride.
About 2 hours later we found ourselves in Prauge and to make a long story short Curtis was in a part of town he had never been, missed our stop, went back, found our stop and got to our place about 3 hours AFTER we had got to town. He then realized that he could have gotten us here in about 30 minutes had he known the Metro stop was about 1/2 a mile away! We found it, were tired, but not tired enough to take a nap and we went out for a good time.
Our first stop was the Mission home because we wanted to visit the mission president and his wife, the Yosts, however they weren't there to our dismay, but will be back tomorrow. We are excited to see them and visit with them. So Curtis took Andi for "THE" Prague Walk that every new missionary gets when they get here. We went to the point that overlooks the entire city in a park that few tourists know about. Then we walked over the Prague Castle and down to Charles Bridge. Next it was over the very crowded bridge and into "old town" where we did some souvenier shopping, saw the town square full of tourists and went to grab some food at Curtis' favorite restaurant here. Curtis got to eat food he has been craving for 2 1/2 years! It was WONDERFUL! Then we walked up Vaclavske Namesti (where the shopping is) but it was already past 8:00 and most stores were closed as the night life was beginning soon. So we hopped the Metro to the internet cafe to check our mail and update the blog. Now it's off to bed to be up early for church!

I would have left a comment every day, but I could not get this whole thing to work for me. Hopefully this one will, if not, I'll talk to you when you get home.I wanted to note that the reason that you didn't invite Kelli to your honeymoon was because then, kissing in the rain would not have been nearly as much fun. When you get back, you will have to stick your assigned color of push pin into the world map I hung up of all the places you have been. Can't wait to hear all of the other details. Oh, good score on the penthouse suite! Love you!~Joni~
