| 2:51 am - Oh Herro from Prague |
Greetings from Prague!
I'm on a Linux machine, so no IE to ruin my day!
I'm still brewing up a re-post after the last failure, so don't expect one for a day or so or more...
Our trip to Prague went fairly well. We ended up having to take the day train as the night train was completely full. It probably worked out better anyways, I'm kinda sick of sleeping in places that aren't beds.
Our route was from Frankfurt to Dresden and then were to hop on another train to Prague. We actually lucked out and got seats facing each other with a table separating us, which was quite nice.
On the first train, Rory and I went and grabbed some beers while the ladies slept. On our way we saw some guys from the States and decided to go chat with them while drinking our beers. Turns out these guys were from LA and were in Germany to go to a Metal Festival. It was nice to drink some beers with some Americans again.
We only had a 55 minute layover in Dresden, which was unfortunate as I would have loved to go exploring there for a while. Turns out there was a fire on the track (!) so our connecting train was late by a good 90 minutes. It probably still wasn't enough time, but whatev.
We did meet a guy from Dubai/England (grew up in Dubai and lives in England) who was pretty interesting. He sat with us on our Prague train and was fun to talk to. Although I rarely do it, I sometimes enjoy meeting new people, heh. We're supposedly meeting him tonight at a bar for some drinks. Not sure how excited I am to go to an Irish pub in Prague...oh well.
Oh, the beer here is pretty awesome! The first beer I had was a Pilsner Urquell at our hostel and it was delicious. It was smooth in a way that I really cant describe as I haven't had beer like that before. Regardless, it was good and much needed after a day of trains.
Oh, the owners of our hostel had the last name of Lindauer. That doesn't mean really anything to non-family members, but it is the last name of my Dad's best friend from college (or high school...can't remember). I'm going to see if there is a relation somehow, just for grins.
Lily and I went out and walked around a bit last night. I must say, Prague is a beautiful city! I've obviously been taking pictures, so I'll get them somewhere viewable when I get back.
After our walk, we went to a 24-hour corner store and bought some Budweiser. Yeah, I said Budweiser. The beer Budweiser is actually originally a Czech beer. The dudes in the US took the name and there have been legal battles about it. Finally it was decided (or something) that the Czech version will not show up in the States (which is unfortunate) and the US version will not show up here (which is fortunate). Anyways, it was good, also very smooth.
Alrighty, time to check the rest of my internets that I have been neglecting for a while.

While you were off in Euroland, back here in the states we celebrated our Country's birthday. You know that patriotic thing that you do because your an American and your bett...cool as everybody else in the world. Anyways, you probably had a great time and if you didn't I wish you would have, because Sir Miller was in his prime and it was a fantastic BBQ, not to mention the pre-BBQ. |
