FINALLY, I’ve Made It!

Entrance to Prague Castle – Here I watched the changing of the guard.

Huge facade of Sv. VITUS, I finally captured it in a sketch, nearly impossible for a camera to capture

Hello all, i’m still finding it hard to believe, but I’ve finally begun my European adventure.  Its been years in the making, and many worries about actually getting the change to cross the sea, but now i’m here in the flesh, seeing all that the world has to offer.

 Things have been very crazy this first week, I arrived in Prague after being awake for nearly 20 hours, and did not go to bed for another 15 or so.  The International Student Club (ISC) has organized many events and parties for all of the new students during this week’s Orientation Week, and they haven’t let us have a moment to rest.  This first week we took an official tour of the city (which lasted more than 4 hours!) which is why i finally have pictures to share with everyone.  I won a trip to the famous Karlovy Vary for thursday’s day trip, so i will share that with you when i return. 

 Plans are in the works to visit BERLIN before classes begin next monday, so i will actually get a chance to use the German i’ve been studying for o so long (this Czech language is very difficult, but i’m still giving it a shot each and every day)

Hope all is well state-side, and i’ll keep you posted on my journeys.
