We spent the last few days in Prague. It was a lovely city, very pretty, though rainy and cold. We walked all over, took a ton of pictures, went to the Museum of Communism and the Mucha art museum, which was small but awesome and educational. We also met a friend of mine in Prague for an afternoon and coffee, which was lovely, though sad to say goodbye once again.
We almost missed our train back to Germany, after arriving with about 15 minutes to find our train only to find that we were at the wrong station. We jumped on the metro, and three stops later we made it where we were supposed to be with just minutes to spare. We felt very good at life at that moment.
Once in Dresden, we walked through the rain only to find that our booking hadn't gone through and that we had no where to stay. After becoming very confused about how to buy metro/tram tickets, eating a chocolate crossaint, and generally feeling bad at life, we decided to head back to our familiar European home, Berlin. We got back, we ate microwave chinese food in a restaurant (who knew that was a thing?) then we met Pete back at the hostel for a fascinating conversation about polo shirts, super powers, crappy magic tricks, and bottled water (it's just so bad for the environment.)
Today, we went back to Checkpoint Charlie, took in the museum, and stepped back onto the sidewalk just in time for a small and somewhat informal memorial service of September 11th. Now we are wandering once again in the city, and may go see Harry Potter 5 in English in an hour or so.
Alas, my eyes are tired from staring at this screen, so I'm done here. More news later, perhaps when something interesting happens. All is well, though, and we hardly fight at all. Rest assured, we'll both make it home, just maybe not together...
