New Country, New Home

Ahoj!! (Hello)

   Well...after a long venture from Chicago O'hare to JFK and a 24hr layover. I now find myself in the beautiful city of Prague. It was certainly a long journey and an uncomfortable one at that, at least when I was stuck in a terminal for over 24hrs, but it paid off in the end. My Aunt was able to hook me up with a good deal however it was standby so it became a waiting game with no guarantee's. It all worked out in the end though as I luckily snatched the final seat on a plane to Prague which fortunately was placed in 1st class. The journey over was extremely comfortable as I indulged into free drinks and a four course meal after munching on granola bars and almonds all day at JFK.

   I arrived in Prague 7+ hours later well rested with a full belly and made my way to baggage claim where I realized I had no luggage waiting for me. After a confusing conversation with the Delta Airlines rep I gathered my reference number and made my way to the exit where a gentlemen was standing with my sign anxiously waiting to take me to my accommodation. A short 25 min. drive later I was in Prague 1 near the city center where I met Marketa, Jeri (sorry if I am misspelling your name), and my new roommate Allison. Marketa quickly showed us around the apartment before taking off to work, as Allison and I became more acquainted deciding what we wanted to do. Since it was late and we were both very tired we went to a local store to get some food and made our way back to the apartment where we attempted to cook the meal. The instructions were in Czech but we figured it out and enjoyed our first meal in a new city. Afterwards we found a nice pub a short distance away before crashing in our cozy beds awaiting a new day where we can explore the city.

   Today Allison and I will explore the city. Until next time

Peace,
J.P.
