Today we went on a tour of Prague in the Czech Republic. It took about 2-3 hours to get there. Almost everyone slept on the way there. It was a nice city but had a lot of graffiti on the buildings, like the cities in America.
The bus stopped at a Czech rest stop. Zach and a few of the others were brave enough to try buying food with their Euro money. They received Czech money back (which of course could be used in Prague as well).

Prague was different then the German cities we have seen on this trip, but it was pretty as well. We had a walking tour of the city and saw the astronomical clock. The clock goes off every hour so we were lucky enough to be there to watch it.

Sometimes there is a small fee to use the public restrooms in Europe. The lady who collected the money where we stopped had a small dog in her basket.
Zach uses his flip camera to capture some landscape videos of Prague.

Prisca, Katie, Lisa, Millie, Britni and I all ate lunch at the hard rock cafe. Our German students had a preview of some of food they will be eating in America. They seemed to really like it. Prague was the last tour of our trip and it was a nice way to end our week in Germany. (Shawna Henkel)
There were so many people (mostly tourists) in the square that these girls made a train to keep track of one another.
The Czech waiter at the Hard Rock Cafe poses with the girls.
One Euro is worth about 24 Czech Crowns, making the bill for Hard Rock Cafe seem outrageously expensive.
Britni rests her head on Mili's (her exchange partner's) shoulder after a long day of traveling, site-seeing, and shopping.
and of course, the group napped on the bus ride home.
