Dropped Gelato = Sad Andy

Tina is taking a nap, so Ethan and I are checking the mail and planning for Rome!

Last night was fun. We went out for Gelato's and wandered about whole new areas of town. Exploring uncharted territory seems to be a theme this trip--- a nice by-product of the fact that neither Ethan nor I have been very good about consulting maps.

At the net cafe last night, we met Casey a nice girl from Alabama who is interning at a Hospital here and offered to show us around. In a cruel twist of fate, I accidentally threw out the small slip of paper containing her name and number when I tossed the crumpled napkin that had sopped up the double-scooped lemon & raspberry gelato which I had clumsily dropped just seconds after purchasing. *Sigh* Fortunately there is a clear moral to this story: always get cups, not cones.

Today we went to the Globe, an English-language bookstore/cafe/restaurant that Casey recommended. It was a win. Ethan and I got smoothies!!

Here are some things I missed: Our neighbors in the hostel are a nice couple who just graduated from UC Davis. Turns out the girl was roommates with some old classmates from my high school in the Bay Area. Its a small World.

For those who are planning a trip to Prague skip the Bake Shop, a breakfast joint south of the Jewish town that Erin recommends for a delicious breakfast-- It's currently under construction.
Lastly, the best thing about Prague is all of the towers. I think we've gone up at least 5 or 6 and we just got back from one today. Look for photos of impressive cityscapes!

Tomorrow we are off to Rome! Ciao!
