Back from Prague

Hello Everyone I made it back from Prague this last monday. I had an absolutely wonderful time there. I met Ludo & Sylvia the day after my arrival at the main train station. We then spent the day going to many of the well known sights in Prague.

Prague is a wonderful place to visit especially if you like architecture and history. There is so much history there its unbelievable. I think the Highlight of my whole trip there was seeing Saint Vitus Cathedral. It is a truly spectacular sight. you do not realize the enormity of it till you see it in person. Its a wonderful example of the gothic style.

I also have to mention that Prague is one of these places in europe that even if you do not know the language you will be fine. I was able to get around on the citys metro without any problem. And at the restaurants most of the wait staff understood my english fine. and when they didnt all i had to do was point. as the menus were in both czech and english.

Well im goign to leave you with a couple of photos

trip to prague

hey everyone so as some may know i have to travel out of country to get my passport stamped so i can stay till the end of August. so this Wednesday i will be going to the beautiful city of Prague in the Czech Republic. I cannot wait to go I have heard so many things about that city and all the great sites. My camera is definitely going to get a workout there. I will most definitely have many pictures to share with you guys once i get back. and of course i know some of you may be wondering, I will see and meet up with Ludo and Sylvia while im there. so it should be just the break i need. Im working like mad trying to get the school advertisement video done before i go so that means roughly a day and a half to edit 3 hours of footage down to 15 minutes complete with narration.

well every body have a wonderful day talk to you later.

Weekend Off Campus

Ok so this last weekend I was able to get off campus for the weekend and go home with one of the students. The trip actually started at 6:00pm thursday night. We left herghelia for the nearby town of Tirgu Mures, here we boarded a train to Brasov at 7:20pm. The journey on the train was quite an experience, the train trip was 10 hours. about the second stop a group of gypsys boarded and i was told by christi that i should keep an eye on my luggage. i understood why, about 8 times that night one of the gypsys would open our compartment door and see if there was anything within easy reach to take. but we would just say hello and they would leave. after we arrived at Brasov it was time to board a bus at the autogara (aka bus depot) to a city call slobozia where we then took another bus to where the students home was all in all it was about a 16 hour journey. The family was very friendly and kind, and one of christi's aunts asked if she could adopt me. One thing that i had to get use to was when i had to go to the bathroom i had to go outside to an outhouse because there house had no running water. His family was very hospitable and cooked so much food for us, i still cannot believe how much i ate over the weekend at times i thought my stomach was going to burst. This was also the first time i had ever eaten a goose egg. which in case you are wondering does not taste any different but is about twice the size. I had a wonderful sabbath aswell christi's cousin got baptized and the whole church there was very friendly and outgoing.

i will keep you updated with any more adventures. and see you guys in roughly 85 days
