So, after our awful night train and awkward hostel arrangements, Jenn and I settled in to life in Prague pretty quickly. We have since discovered that though we were weirded out bz the hostel booking agent aspect, we actually like our hostel. It is not as cool and hip as our other places, but it is cheap, clean and comfortable-besides the smoky lounge- and best of all really close to the old town stuff. We have decided to extend our original reservation and stay here the whole time we are in Prague.
Last night we managed to hang out with a couple of mz firends from college, Jake Weger and Carly Hood. (Mom and Stuart will remember Jake from their trip to the DR) Jake and Carlz have been living here and teaching english for 6 months, it was awesome to get some tips and info from them. Plus just getting to hang out was awesome. We caught them in their final days here, so they could not hang out super late since they had to get up mad early and pack.
Our plan for today involves, you guessed it a whole bunch of walking. We plan to do the famous charles bridge and the castle quarter. It should be sweet.
thats it for now...will report back later.

Yeaaa! I love it when you can finally reach a place and stay for awhile. Glad you got to see Jake - he is classic.
Am posting during naptime - looks to be a long one, he said he wanted to lie down at 11:30. Sandy and Dan must have really run him around. Plus we played catch with his new ball and he practiced running - and running some more - as part of his fancy catching techniques. then, after breakfast, he lined up all the toys (catagorized into good guys and bad guys - its interesting to see who rates and who doesn't) in a parade on the kitchen counter. I kept having to move the plates, coffee cup, and newspaper as each new arrival had to be placed carefully in line.
We are headed back to the zoo this afternoon because I left my credit card at the dinosaur exhibit - were we in a hurry? And see Yions this time - we missed them last time, and have not forgotten.
We miss you. We love you.
Mom
