I've switched hostels! I am now staying at Sir Toby's Hostel, the one I wanted to stay at all along. I stayed at the czech inn because Sir Toby's was full, but I found out I could have slept on the floor in the chapel for free if I had've just shown up hahaha. noooooooo! I am REALLY not doing too well with this cold. It is just too bad that it has to be in such a beautiful city like Prague, because I have been sleeping my days away, sneezing on local Czech people and making them mad, and snoring in my 8 bed dorm rooms...also making my dormmates mad haha. Last night an american girl gave me Tylenol PM - A GODSEND! I slept the whole night through ahhhhh. Sir Toby's is INCREDIBLE. Wish I could've stayed here before :( Bed is what I've been spending all my time in, but it's comfy as a cloud and this afternoon nobody checked in so I was there in the beautiful room all by myself. Pure Bliss. Slept, Slept, Slept, then got up to do something with myself. Went to buy my train ticket tomorrow for Kutna Hora (The bone church with more than 40,000 human bones) and my train ticket on tuesday for Vienna. Can't really find a place in Vienna to stay, might be a problem. To tell you the truth, I am getting antsy and want to lay on a beach in Italy, Greece, or Spain soon. I can't believe I've been gone over a month, and I still have a month left to go! After I bought my train tickets I fed pigeons in the park (FAVORITE!) and walked down to Wenceslas Square. Hung out there, tried on some fancy clothes (But no buying unfortunately) and walked down to Old Town Square again. I just love this square so much! Ohhhhh the astronomical clock is something else. It tells the weather, day, month, position of the sun in the sky, and time. I just LOVE this thing. Every hour it does a little show. The skeleton starts moving and ringing his bell, and then the apostles (I think?) Start moving around in the windows. The bell morbidly starts to ring. It's just great! Also, the Tyn Church is incredible. There are two towers (Adam is the bigger one, Eva is the smaller one) and it is free to get in. I went to see a organ and brass concerto in the St. Nicholas Church for 300 CZK today. I was hoping to get it for cheaper but the ticket guy wasn't having it hahaha But 300 CZK amounts to only around $18.00, so it wasn't bad. The Concerto was amazing, I loved it (Kristy I bet you are excited too)! They have these concerts every day ALL OVER PRAGUE, and I guess if you look around and be sneaky you can sometimes get a ticket for around $4.00. Tomorrow there is a violin one that I would DIE to go see, but I have that ticket to Kutna Hora, so I'm not sure if I can make it. My train ticket to Vienna was 590 CZK, and that's including my Eurail Pass :( :( I'm spending money WAY too fast. See you in a few weeks, Airdrie Public Library! I'll be good and poor and ready to read to those little kids! The money is even worse to get used to than Polish Zloty! Get this. I've taken out 4000 CZK already and spent it in 3 days. I WANT TO KICK SOMETHING WHEN I READ THAT. But it's not actually that much, (it is) but I am spending money pretty darn quick. That's my cue to quietly make my exit from Prague. Anyways, I am a sneezy, drippy mess and I am making it clear that I am enjoying the Famed Nightlife of Prague by curling up with tylenol PM, a bottle of water and kleenex.
LOVE YOU GUYS MUAA

SARAH! - I love the concert in the church! Kristy will love that one! I especially loved the head in front of you bobbing to the music...hahaha Also, the clock video - couldn't see as much as you because I'm blind, but enjoyed all the ringing and dinging and little men....hahaha....ma
wait a second waaaaaaait a second. You're telling me I can make a career turning a crank and and tipping my hat at people? what the hell am I paying out the ass to go to university for then???? Haha but seriously, I can't get over the acoustics in the cathedral, incredible. The piece is O fortuna from Carmina by Carl Orff if you care haha IIIII'm a nerd. I can't wait for you to get back and discuss your travels over margaritas in the southern Alberta sun! I'm working at a Greenhouse run by a Chinese family who can barely speak English right now haha it's pretty funny. Anyways, I read all of your posts and can't wait to hear how Neuschwanstein goes or where ever the hell you're going haha PEEEAAAACE
hahahaha Kristy that is wonderful. Yes of course we will definitely have to see each other when I get back. I've been meeting alot of French people, and all I have been able to say has been...*pardonnez moi, be ne comprend pas...plus lentment, sil vous plait!!!* that song we learned in 6th grade. And also things like *michael Jackson aimes les enfants et je lance les singes a la soleil* and such. Doesn't work out so well haha.
