Today was a day of fruitful exploration. It was really awesome! I woke up super early because I fell asleep last night at about 8.30. Oops, but it turned out to be good because I was up and out of the house by 8.30am. I had no idea what to do or anything so I decided to just walk around and see where I ended up. I ended up at the Vysehrad, which is only about a 5ish minute walk from my flat, and is what gives the name to the area I live in. It is the old fortress, so naturally there are some great views! I took tons of pictures! The Vysehrad is a really cool area! I am pretty sure I will be spending a lot of time there! I went at a good time because as the day got later, more and more people kept coming, where as earlier I was pretty much alone! The coolest part of the Vysehrad is the basilica. It is pretty old [1600s] and there is a really cool cemetery there. I didn't know this til later, but I guess it is where all of the 'best and brightest' in all aspects of life from Czech are buried. Pretty cool! It was really neat looking too! After that little adventure, I had lunch on my way back to the flat and then I took a little [and by little I mean long] nap. It turned out to be much longer than I had anticipated so it was nearly dinner time when I awoke, ha! So still in the adventurous spirit, I decided to explore in the other direction. I came across the Vltava, which is the main river that runs through the city. I ended up walking all the way down to the Charles Bridge, which merits much noting. It was really cool but very busy! By this time it was dark so the Prague Castle was all lit up and looking majestic. I had dinner, a wurst and a beer [very Deutsch] on the Vltava overlooking the Castle. Pretty awesome! So far, so great!! Not sure yet what I am going to do tomorrow but probably more of the same, except we have a scheduled nighttime tour with our program director, so that should be great!
