praha, czech republic

although i had visited prague for three days in march, i was excited to experience the city in warmer weather with andy. it may be a cliche for backpackers to go to prague (what with the abundance of hostels, dirt cheap beer, and legalized substances), and the city may only be unique and truly old because it was decided that beautiful buildings were more valuable than the lives of several thousand jews, but it really is incredible. you can find whatever it is you're looking for in prague, and for andy and i that was small cafes, expansive parks, quiet residential neighborhoods, amazing views, and the best english language bookstore i have found in non-english speaking europe yet.
