In Prague!

So I made it to Prague, after a 10 1/2 hour flight from LA to Heathrow and a mad dash to the next gate to go to Prague. The Brits saw a very sweaty Sammi...

The city is gorgeous. I walked around for the first time this afternoon. First was the orientation at school (Anglo-American University) which was good. For some reason I was the only one to think to bring paper and pens... We learned a little about Czech culture and took a tour of the school. It's very old, everything's very old. The school is located in Mala Strana very close to the east side of Charles Bridge. The streets are all cobblestoned and twisty. I walked across the bridge today, and it was beautiful. If you stand on the bridge and look north, you can see Prague Castle, which is supposedly one, if not the, biggest castles in Europe. It is very beautiful, especially when it is lit up at night.

The food is really cheap! I haven't had much traditional cuisine yet, but I have had the beer and it's great. They don't serve it quite as cold in the states, so I'm getting used to that. I bought some groceries today at the Prague supermarket, called Tesco. That was quite an experience. Tesco is a huge store that is kind of like a super Target. It was very crowded when I went and all the signs are in Czech of course so I had a time maneuvering around.

I'll write more soon!
