[ prague and partying in budapest ]

So, we are in Prague. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was saying, so we're in budapest. This part of the trip is absolutely FLYING by- one week and we'll be in oxford! How crazy is that?

Prague. It looks gorgeous already- even though all we saw was driving to our hotel tonight- so old and exciting looking. We spent all day in the bus- slept most of the way since I got about 3 hours of sleep the night before in Budapest- we went to this...i don't even know what to call it...a club? discotech? Someone on our trip described it as "Disney world for adults after hours"...anyway, it was like this little boardwalk/square area right on the river that you had to pay entrance fee to get in and then their were like, little booths to get drinks and what not, with two stage areas, blasting RANDOM music (80's, YMCA, and then Hungarian Techno, one after the other) with crazy lights and the creepiest people I have seen yet on our trip. It was awesome. SO SO SO much fun- we laughed until we cried and danced like crazy people. I was really glad to be in a big group of people though (like 40 of us went) because it was pretty sleezy-eurotrash-tastic. It made me really impressed with our boys- they really, really looked out for us the entire night, blocking us from Hungarian creepers. Anyway, it was a really great time- one of the best nights of the trip, definitely. We got back to the hotel around 3, fell asleep about 3:30ish, got up at quarter to 7, ate breakfast and dragged our sleepy butts a couple of blocks to the bus and PASSED OUT. Don't know how people go out like this every night- I would be positively dead if I did it every night- and I wasn't drinking.

Tomorrow, we have class, walking tour of old prague, two museums, a bit of free time and then the "magic flute" opera by mozart. Busy, busy, busy!! Pictures soon, i hope!!

LOVEEEEEEEEE,
Liz
