Clean Beds and Fairy Tales

We thought we had died and gone to heaven when we arrived in Prague. After weeks of hostels, pulling up to the Marriott left us all a bit giddy. Towels, comfortable beds, clean sheets, clean carpet, two to a room - we were living large. Funny how you come to appreciate the little things (like free towels).

But besides the hotel, Prague itself was beautiful. We went into Old Town Square that first night. The church looked like something out of a storybook, and the astronomical clock tower was very impressive lit up against the night sky. I loved exploring the city next day. So much character, and the whole city reminded me of a fairytale. A guy in our group had served his mission in the Czech Republic, so he was able to give us a little tour of the city. The Charles Bridge was one of my favorite spots. As you cross the bridge, more and more of the city becomes visible as you turn around to look. Another favorite was Prague Castle. We went as a whole group to visit the castle, and it offered gorgeous views of the city. We had so much fun taking pictures and hanging out. It's amazing how close you can get with people you have never met before in 30 days.

We also had one of my favorite business visits while in Prague as well. We visited Pricewaterhouse Coopers. The office is beautiful, and the speakers gave a great overview of the company and work environment.

Yet another stunning city! Prague was a dream!

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
