Friday- Last Day Abroad

After touring around Prague for the last time as a group we split up to venture out on our own for a while in the beautiful city. Will, Claire, and I chose to revisit a small park by the waterfront. Here we enjoyed the gorgeous scenery and rode a small train (intended for small children) in a circle. The train was complete with a smoke stack and seat belts (It only cost about 30 kr or $1.50 for the three of us). After a sleepy afternoon by the water we joined Frau Russell, her Czech friend, and Sophia in visited a near by church service. The church was naturally over-the-top Baroque style and utterly gorgeous. But the service itself seemed rather somber aside from the beautiful singing. We finished the night with a huge Prague meal, where the Czech waiter was dismayed by the prospect of young American teenagers. Frau Russell ordered pig leg. We also enjoyed "Prague's Coke-Cola" a dark liquid that tasted like licorice. All in all it was a great day and we hit the sack promptly after dinner in preparation of the early morning to come.
