I can't say how beautiful it is here! I am so in love with the architecture

and the amtosphere here. I am staying at a Pensione ran by a grandmother-

who I drove nuts on my first night here because she handed me a set of keys

and I could not figure out for the life of me..which key was for which

door..you\d think that if the key fits..it would just go in the key

hole..yeah not exactly! I met five friends here so far=). I met a woman by

the name of Maria with whom I shared a cab with to the pensione (she was 3

miles away) and a guy from Berkeley named Allan (gets lost all the time). I

took a walking tour yesterday and met a girl named Pimbull ( I probably

butchered her name) who I stuck with the entire day. We toured almost the

entire city of Prague..on our way out of St.Nicholas Church (stunning)...I

heard someone call my name and thought..no one here would know me..but I

turned around and it was Allan who was with his new buddy named Rome. We all met up for dinner where we met another girl named Karen from the UK. It's

been an adventure so far..more to come..just wanted everyone to know that I

am safe and doing well! Extremely cheap here..!! Alright..off to the Jewish

Cemetery..I fly out to Venice tomorrow night! So much more to tell you guys

about Prague but this keyboard is getting on my last nerve...

TWO DAYS LATER..

So last time I emailed..I was in Prague..on my last morning..I was suppose to meet up with Pekbom at 9am..she never showed but Karen did. Karen said that Pekbom never came back last night from her day trip to Vienna so that got us both a little worried. We tried searching for her in and also called her but no sign. So Karen and I just roamed around..it rained rpetty much all day that day so I decided to go to the airport early. And it was there that I saw Pekbom..I knew she had a flight back to the UK at the same time as me so I was hoping to see her. It turned out that she missed the train from Vienna back to Prague..she was really upset about it and even blamed it on the fact that she was out with Karen, Allan and I too long the night before so she wasnt paying enough attention..but she was safe and that was all that mattered =). Note taken- never wait for the last train to go back to the city that you came from..you never know what might happen!
