Sorry, I lied, but I didn't think we were going to do anything worth noting today. But this is too good to tack on to the Vienna/Budapest trip.
Today Chesky, Beeler, Andy, Nate and I went up to Petrin hill and then we went to the mini Eiffel Tower. When we got off the tram we walked up this little hill and found a really cool Communism memorial. At first one part of the body is missing, than another and another until the body seems to totally disappear. Its actually quite bizarre. There was actually another one but it got destroyed in some bombing in 2003 I guess. Pretty weird.
Then we headed up to the tower. You have to take a freaky little thing that takes you up the hill. Its kind of scary but lends some great views. Once we got to the tower we became hesistant because of all the stairs we saw. It ended up being only 303 but it looks like way more because you see the stairs going up and the stairs coming down. The top of the tower was awesome! Its definitely something anyone
who comes here should do. It
was also really pretty because of all the trees starting to change color. Beautiful! Its fun because we are finally able to see things and know what they are and then we can find other parts of the city, so we were doing that for a while. After coming down we went over to a mirror maze but didn't want to pay for it so we started exploring instead. Andy and I found a little staircase off the main way so we went down it and then Nate explored it more. This big group of German students was walking by and they saw us down there and stopped to look at us. Then Andy started nodding so they all filed down the steps and kept going. It was pretty funny. They thought it was going
to be something great i guess, which it was cool, but nothing special. Haha. We also found this really big sandstone boulder that tons of people have carved things into, so naturally we did the same thing. It was fun to climb on as well. Anyway, that is a place I definitely want to revisit.[Andy carving his initials into the boulder]
