Prague is a beautiful place. Hopefully soon I'll be able to post some of the hundreds of pics I've already taken here. The weather was a little dreary the first few days I was here but today has been beautiful! The sun is out and it's actually hot. The last several days I've had to wear a coat and sometimes dash to get out of the spontaneous rainfalls.
I ran into Alex (a guy I met in Cesky Krumlov) in the streets last night by accident (I love it when that kind of stuff happens) and today I've been walking the city with him, Francis from Arkansas, and Amon from Washington state. We saw a lot of the sites and took in a lot of sun.
I spent the first few nights in the home of Alex, a Ukrainian living in Prague. Alex is a great guy incredibly hospitable. We went up to "Cesky Paradise" with his German friend Kristin to hike around the mountains for 15-20 kms. It was wonderful!
Last night I moved my stuff to Ondrez's home. I met him through couchsurfing.com and he and his roomate have been incredibly friendly. Last night we walked around Prague while they both pointed out a lot of the things my guide books missed. The perspective of a local has proved to be a terrific asset to have. I'm so glad I chose to use sites like these!
Not sure what I'm doing the rest of the week. I'll either hang out in Prague until Sunday or go with Alex and some other guys on a three day trip around Eastern Czech. We'll see what happens...
Oh, check out some other fans of my site! :)

Prague is an amazing City. And you get crazy taking so many pictures. I love the main plaza where you could get a beer and sit for a long time to meet people.. Most of them, other travelers.
