Post # 2 od Euro trip #3 Franfurt/Prague (Praha)

So, mom and I wake up and head to Prague. We don't have a hotel yet, but a real good idea as to where we want to stay. Four seasons it is. Right next to Charles Bridge on Vltava River, it is amazing. We drop our bags quickly and head to the bridge. There we fnd some amazing things. We find a river boat tour so we take it. It was very educational and entertaining. When we arrive we are given what my mom called A Prague ho ho (chocolate covered gingerbread with strawberry spread inside) and hot wine. Ewww..so we thought but I really grew to like it, in fact I drank it our whole trip. So from there we ran into a Dali art exhibit that was ironically the collection of prints that mom got me for xmas. It was a depiction of Dante's Divine comedy which am also reading. Basically it is a man's struggle of heaven vs hell, with a pit stop in purgatory. Quite a hard read but interesting nonetheless.

So from there we walk the streets seeing buildings that have existed for over 600 years and the changes in architecture across the city. It was beautiful. We aslo got the inside scoop on the spot on the bridge you rub and make a wish cause some Saint was tossed off the bridge there. Well, we'll see if I get my wish. Then we had a quiet night, ate in the hotels restaurant (it was way uppity) got tired and went to bed. The next morning we awoke refreshed ad ready for a new day's adventure. Boy we found one, in fact, many. We meant so head to shop but strolled into a square where a band competition was going on. Now I can't say they were very good, but they were very colofully dressed in all sorts of costumes and strange makeup. There was one group in particular that we kept running across, Rolf's group, I'll tell you moe about Rolf later. Just know that we are engaged.

After enjoying the music we went shopping (boring) found some good clothes and got hungrey so we ate. On the way back to the hotel we hear all this music again. The bands were parading all over the city and again here comes our favorite band. Pictures are very soon to come. We were again drawn back to the square where we sat in an outdoor beer garden amongst the band members and tourists. We befriended a couple from Whales named Paul and Kathy. We sat and talked for hours until Kathy's Dolce & Gabbana purse was stole right beneath our noses. So, mom suggested we buy them dinner. We then parted ways tofreshen up and prepare to go to the clubs. We rejoined the couple in an Irish pub to leave in search or a club. We stopped in a casino for a drink so they could go home and reshen up. It seemed as if the night was a go! Until...

Kathy shrieks..My diamond is gone!!!!

She had lost he 1 Ct. Heart shapped diamond right out of her engagement ring. We crawled and looked for about an hour. She cried. I didn' know wha to say or do, but I looked. It must have gotten snagged on her gloves. WE hope that it fell out in her room somewhere, but we'll never know. So as the night dwindledmom suggesed we get going... to a club...finally. To be continued...
