Tomorrow marks me being in Europe for two whole months! I have already hit 6 countries and am planning on at least hitting one more - SPAIN! This week I went to Czech Republic and Switzerland! Both great places! I loved Prague! or as they call it Praha. I meet up with my friend Valoree and we stayed with her cousin who lives there. So much shopping in Prague and beer. Beer is cheaper than water and everything else! The day her cousin took us around we had to take 3 breaks for a beer lol in like 4 hours of walking the city starting at 11 am :) then around 5 we had to take a coffee break. Oh Europe! Got to love it! Prague has amazing history, being that is has only been a *free* country for 17 years! Communism was there until 1989! WE took a Communism Walking Tour from a cute little 65 year old man who was so nice! It was a private tour because Val and I were the only ones there to take it! He told us all about how he had lived through it all- The occupation by Germany starting in 1938- he even had a picture of him as a three year old sitting on a German tank! Then he told us all about living in a communist country and how they always had basic human necessities but new human freedoms. He also told us about how he and his wife had been scared to go to the protest in 1989 on the first day becuase they had a 15 year old daughter and they - while wanting her to have a better and free life- also wanted her just to plain be alive and it was a gamble going to the protest against the soviets. The protest was started by UNIVERSITY STUDENTS went on for 4 days, and after that the government had to fold the soldiers would not obey the commands because their family's were in the protest as well. There is your history lesson for today it is almost the anniversary of the day too November 17th. Prague is so pretty though and known for its Crystal. Food was good there as well and everyone spoke English which was nice. I bought so much stuff! Christmas shopping baby! Geneva was also awesome chocolate everywhere very pretty city- did not make it to the UN they are closed on saturdays oh well excuse to come back!
