Czech... CHECK!

Munchen recap:
-Happy Independence Day America... we represented in Germany. We split into three groups (just like the three colors of America) and explored everything Munich had to offer.
-Trina, Devin, Melissa and Kelly wandered around Munich and saw all of the sites by foot. The glockenspiels, the open market, the biggest building in Munich (and climbed to the top) and the square with squirting water.
-Staci, Heather and Jessica (we forgot to mention we picked her up in Amsterdam, so if her parents are wondering, she is safe with us) and went on a bike tour. They peddled around Munich and saw churches, a royal palace, the French garden, the English garden (props to Heather for not getting lost on this bike ride) and of course the second biggest beer garden in the world. The ride ended with a stop at a river where people in Munich surf. Yes, it was weird, yet amazing.
-Stephanie stayed home sick and hurt her back. (Thanks to Dr. Kristin for the email help!)

Today
Today we took a train. Yes we feared being stuck and a police investigation, but we conquered our fears... we rode our train straight to Prague (we were a little worried when the police with big guns walked by... we think they were out to get Staci who couldn't find her ticket (don't worry mom, she found it)).

When we finally got to Prague (6 hours, as scheduled! later) we checked into our hostel (which is no Belgium hostel) but we enjoyed the scenic walk up 5 flights of narrow curvy, steep stairs. We made it to the top where the hostel kicked some guy out of our room (apparently he wasn't supposed to be there anymore) and went out to explore the city.

Prague=AMAZING. That's all. We saw the Charles Bridge and Old Town, which kind of looks like a fairy tale. We climbed to the top of the old town bridge tower (yay us).

Tomorrow:

We are headed to Prague Castle and some Jewish stuff.

Best meal of the days: Hofbrauhous beer (again)
Number of "man-pri's" (male capri pants) seen since we've been in Prague: We lost count after 365. Tomorrow we shall count "mandalls" (high fashion women's sandals for men)

P.S. Pictures are coming soon... We know you are looking more foward to this than our actual arival home.
