A Bit Behind.

So I guess I need to catch up, the past week has just been a little crazy with recovering from being sick and catching up on work...

Monday.
Well I made it out of the apartment for the first time in awhile!  With no food left in the pantry, I figured a grocery shopping was in need.  Becca and I made a Albert trip and then I just worked on homework for the rest of the day. 

 For dinner I met up with Kirby, Elise and Christine and we went to our favorite, Gopal.  It is the amazing Hindu, vegetarian restaurant!   The food is absolutely delicious and it is all you can eat for about five dollars, it doesn't get much better than this.

Tuesday.

Class in the morning and then a meeting for my sociology group project in the afternoon, but nothing exciting for the day.

Wednesday.

Class ALL day, not fun.

Thursday. 

I had class in the morning again and another group meeting for my project.  Coffee at Gloria Jean's was a plus =)

In the evening Becca and I headed over to the Miller's for a discussion group.  They make everyone dinner which is such a HUGE blessing.  Some delicious curry chicken with the works was soooo good.  The topic for this week was wisdom. 

It was really cool, because we thought it was going to be more of a Bible study, but was actually a pretty interesting debate on wisdom in general.  They presented us with Bible verses, movie clips, songs, quotes and philosophical references and then we basically just talked about what we thought.  The group was great too!  There were a lot of different views and opinions which gave way to some heated disagreements, but no hard feelings. 

We ended the night with some peanut butter cookies, the ones with hershey kisses =) Such an American food, but warmly welcomed.  The Miller's have been such a blessing to me while I have been here.  They are so welcoming and open to sharing their lives with us and it has been so great, I couldn't be more thankful!

Friday. 

With no classes and a beautiful day outside, I decided to catch up on my Prague Art and Architecture class and venture out into the city to see some sites. 

I started at the Church of Our Lady Under the Chain.  Built in the 1300's it is a mix of the Gothic and Romanesque style.

Right around the corner was the famous Lennon Wall.  Covered in graffiti, quote, pictures and names of just about every tourist, the wall is a sign of "Peace and Love."

Next up was the romantic Love Lock Bridge.  If you are in love with someone you are supposed to attach some sort of lock with an inscription onto the bridge.  It was really cool and had a great view down a small canal. 

From here, I walked over to the Lesser Quarter Bridge Tower, the smaller of the two on the Charles Bridge.

Then I walked across the Charles Bridge.  It was such a beautiful day outside, the sun was shining, and the city looked incredible. 

When I made it over to the other side I went to the exhibit in the Old Town Bridge Tower and then climbed up to the top.  AMAZINGGGG.  I had a panoramic view of the entire city, it was fantastic.  

Sadly, I had leave the beautiful view, so I walked to the Bethlehem Chapel, the birthplace of the Bohemian Reformation and the main preaching location of reformer, Jan Hus. 

I took the metro and tram a few stops and found my next destination, St. Clement's Church.  Once mainly Gothic, it now has a baroque facade.  

And then my last stop was St. Peter at Na Poříčí Church. 

It was so fun just walking around the city, I feel as if there is so much I haven't seen.  There is such rich history wherever you go and I want to see it all =)

The boys made BLT's for family dinner with Christine, Becca and I and then I headed over to Becca's for a relaxed night of movies, ice cream and homework!
