Beautiful Praha

Today I was lucky enough to get to experience snowfall in Prague. We had some snow yesterday, but it was more like slush. Today, we had huge fluffy snowflakes. It was so beautiful that despite the cold, I decided to walk home from class through Old Town Square. Walking across Charles Bridge, I felt like I was in a postcard. 

I was really excited today to finally go to a bookstore called The Globe. It is right in my neighborhood and also has a restaurant/cafe. The whole time that I was there I couldn't help thinking home much Dad would love it.  I walked there with my flatmates Sammi, Sarah, and Lisa. We had delicious chicken noodle soup which was the perfect comfort food on a cold day. We all said that it would be a great place for a study day...if we ever need a study day since we all have the impression that Anglo-American University is a community college.

Tonight, Sammi and I went to a really cool bar called U Sudu. It's really cool because the main part of the bar is down a flight of stairs and the interior looks almost like a cave. There were a lot of Czechs there and occasionally they would all burst into song. We have no idea what they were saying, but it made for a great atmosphere!
