Late night shooting didn’t make for a good next morning. We did manage to get breakfast for the first time, before the 10:30am cut off, but ended up going back to bed. The food was a little better than plain old continental but still left a little to be desired. Despite sleeping in late every morning we decided to have an easy day. We have been doing A LOT of walking, often very late into the evening. We haven't been doing a very good job of adjusting to the time difference. When we went out we left the camera in the hotel and travelled light with K's point-and-shoot. We didn't really have an agenda, other than to be back to skype with the fam around 11 pm our local time. We wandered back towards Old Town Square again which has been looking more and more festive every day. Booths have been set up all over the square selling small christmas ornaments, treats, hats and gloves and much more. This was the night that Karl and I discovered a wonderful little pastry called "Trdelnik" (yeah...we haven't figured out how to pronounce it either!) and also tried hot wine. Both were delicious. We looked at the goods for a little while and then decided on an Italian restaurant for dinner. (Leah, this is where there was a room inside of a cupboard.) We went to find Karl some ice cream after that and then I purchased a "Little Mole" figure. Little Mole is one of Czech's oldest and most famous cartoon characters. Keep an eye out for him in up coming pictures. While wandering aimlessly around some of the back streets we stumbled upon one of the small side streets we tried so desperately to find a few nights before. We tucked into a little bar called Cili for a couple mojitos before we headed back towards the hotel to skype. One thing I am going to have a really hard time getting used to is all the smoking in doors. I hate sitting in a bar or a restauraunt and sucking in a ton of smoke and even worse: getting home and having all my clothes stink! It certainly makes me appreciate the US more... It started snowing for the first time since we have been here on our walk back, just enough to leave a lovely blanket over everything. It was really pretty with all the city lights. When we got back we worked on a blog post (because if you haven't noticed by now we are running a little behind!) and then our internet quit on us!!! The front desk told us that we wouldn't have it back for a while so we caved and called home on the cell. It was good to hear from everyone. Then to bed again.
