Hey, there, this is just a quickie post.

Above is just a taste of what's to come from my latest trip. Don't expect much, because I really didn't take that many pictures.

Happy 16th Birthday to my favorite sister!!!!! I'm still in shock that you've been around for 16 years already. It seems like yesterday you were born and I gave you your first bath. I miss you and I love you!

Hey, everyone! I'm updating again! I wanted to update yesterday but the internet was going too slow for me to upload any pictures.

It's been a kind of hectic week. Worked Monday and Tuesday then on Wednesday and Thursday I went to Prague with a few people from work. Then I worked yesterday and I'm working today and tomorrow. I love working this schedule. It allows for so much for flexibility and freedom than the average Monday through Friday job. It's going to be difficult to go back to that kind of schedule.

So, Prague was interesting. The Czech Republic is definitely very interesting and different. As soon as we crossed the border we could tell they aren't as neat and orderly as the Germans. In fact, by the time we found a parking spot near our hostel, the three of us in the car were ready to come back to Germany. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to their streets or parking. Every parking spot has a reserved sign on it and we pretty much just decided that if it didn't say Policie on the sign we were good to go. The car didn't get towed or anything bad so we were happy. Anyways, Prague is a large city and we only saw a small portion of it. We walked for hours and hours. It rained the whole first day and the second day was just cold. We learned that in Prague if you go eat at a restaurant and they bring you a basket of bread, expect to pay for that basket of bread per person! The money there is interesting. They have their own currency, the Czech Krone, but most places accept Euro. The exchange rate is about 24 Krone to the Euro. So, if a restaurant says that Goulash is 300 Krone, it's only about 12.46 Euro or 15.88 US dollars.

Our hostel was pretty nice. We had an apartment with a kitchen and bathroom. Three of us girls shared the one apartment and everyone else shared a second one. It wasn't a 5 star hotel by any means, but it was clean and we felt safe. Pretty cheap too.

Well, we stayed in Prague until about 4 PM Thursday and we would have made it home in about 4 hours except we got caught in a huge traffic jam in a construction zone so it took us about 6 hours to get back. It was an exhausting trip, but I think it was worth it. I can say I've been to Prague now!

Well, I must go back to work now!

Hope everyone enjoys the pictures!
