In case you can't get enough of Vienna stories, this http://kellyhacker.blogspot.com/ is Kelly's (my roommate) blog url, she's got some cool stuff on there too :)

Prague

This is the opera house that Don Giovanni was performed in for the first time, it was written for Prague. And where the opera scenes for Amadeus were shot. And to your right a beautiful church on the old town square where the bodily remains of a Danish astronomer who died when his bladder burst at dinner because he didn't want to stand before the emperor lie. It is so beautiful at night (though I thought our tour guide was trying to kill us :). And then beautiful views of the River :) Die Moldau.

This is our amazing tour guide showing us scrafito, that is the Italian word that our word grafiti comes from. Its beautiful. She lived under communism for the first decade or so of her life, isn't that intense? You paint brown plater or something and then a thin layer of white plaster and scratch the white plaster to make cool patterns.

And then me in front of St. Vitas church. It is gothic like St. Stephens, but our church is prettier :).


St. Vitas has my favorite stained glass ever, and it was such a beautiful day with the sun shining everywhere. And then me with Prague behind me, sehr sehr lovely :D.

And then me in St. Wenceles square, its like a kilometer long. And its the king from like the Christmas carol :) I didn't spend much time there, but it was a nice square and it led me to one of my favorite dinners.
