Prague and on to Italy!



After a great time in Poland, we made it to Prague without a scratch. Prague was a great city with a lot to keep us busy. We spent two days visiting all of the sites and soaking up the great weather. It has been unseasonably warm here in Europe. We have been enjoying temps in the 60s for the last few weeks. We also met up with one of my classmates from Copenhagen while in Prague. He was stopping through on his way to Austria and it was nice to add a thrid to the trip.
While in Prague we saw many of the popular sites including the Charles Bridge, St. Vitus Cathedral, the Prague Astronomical Clock, Old Town, and the Prague Castle. It was a fantastic two days... Prague has an amazing history.


From Prague, we made our way to Rome. We were in Rome for 2 full days and 3 nights. We did some major walking in Rome because there was an amazing amount of things to see. My favorite sites were Vatican City, Colosseum, and Palatine Hill. We had a blast in Rome and were very glad to be there during the off season because the tourists would have been thick. We were able to get in and out of the major sites without much effort, which was nice. While we were in Rome we met up with one of Paul"s roomates and his 2nd rommate"s brother, Jeff and Philipe.

From Rome we hitched a ride with Jeff and Philipe who were driving to Florence. It took us about 2 1/2 hours and was a great scenic ride. Jeff and Philipe left this morning for Milan and then on to the North of Italy to go skiing. Paul and I were able to spend the day site seeing here and tomorrow we leave early to San Remo on the boarder of Italy and France. We pick up a car early tomorrow morning and drive through Tuscany and up the coast of Italy.

That is the latest update and Ill try to post again when We get to Paul"s place in Madrid.

Here are the pictures of Poland, Prague, Rome, and Florence.
