My journey has brought me to what might be the most beautiful city in the world.  Only judging from my travels of course.  This place has it all.  I fell in love with the Prague women....I even tried to bring a few of them with me but they didn't fit in my back pack.  I guess I shouldn't have brought so many pairs of socks.  I just don't know what it is but they all have the most amazing eyes and I even better after some of Pragues finest beers!!!  Ok seriously though Braden you were right.   What a great place to visit, meet people, and take in the sights.  My hostel was great except for the flooding from the showers..Luckily it was my floor that had the flooding which meant that the people underneath us had all the water on their beds and clothes...Lets just say I didn't lose any sleep over it.  Arriving by train into Prague I could already see what I wanted to do as Pragues Castle is high up on top and over looks the city.   I headed out right away and after walking a few miles I reached the top.  Great timing as the church itself was closed but the grounds to the castle were still open.  What this meant was that the crowds were gone and there was probably only about 25 of us in there.  After strolling around the castle I headed back towards the Charles Bridge which is an amazing site in itself.  It has 30 statues from the 18th century along both sides.  Very beautiful.  The winding roads almost all lead to the twin steeples of Tyn Church and St Nicholas church.  Both are very old, 17th century I believe, but what was more of a draw in this town square was the world cup games were being televised on a huge flat screen tv.  It was the size of a movie theatre screen.  The Sweden and England game was so much fun to watch.  Just a tast of the real thing but both crowds were going nuts.  I also did a very touristy thing and did the ghost tour.  It is said that Prague is very magical and haunted so what better way to find out about it than to take a night tour.  Walking through the passages of Prague at 10:30pm was a lot of fun and our guide was great.  I didn't have any night mares which was good because I was on the top bunk and might have hurt myself if I fell.  My last day in Prague I did some things that people will be a little mad at me for.  When you are traveling you are supposed to soak up as much of the culture and towns that you can, but to be honest it takes a lot out of you always walking around and trying to fit so much in to small amounts of time.  So I decided that this day I was going to do nothing but relax.  Our hostel was located in the same building as a Thai Massage place and we received a discount so I went and had an hour long Thai Massage.  It hurt a lot but after my body was so relaxed and felt great!! I then went to see the Bruce Willis movie 16 blocks.  Great movie with a great ending.  I hope that you all are not to upset with me for taking a day off.  Well I hope that everyone is doing well and that everything is great on the home front.  Talk to you soon.
