Weekend, Opera, and Dinner Cruise


Hey all! Over the weekend all of us just went out dancing and spent fun time because it was our last weekend in Prague. We had a blast. Monday night Janet, Liz, and myself went to the Don Giovanni Opera. I can not even begin to describe how amazing it was. It lasted about three hours and it was all in Italian! So at first it was hard to get in to, but then I got used to it. We were at the theater that Mozart OPENED this play at. It was not a big opera house but the art work and everything was amazing. After Janet took us to her favorite dessert cafe. We all had an amazing night. As for this week it has been busy with school work and finals. I did finish my shopping for everyone and myself. This is be my last post here in Prague :(. But I am very exited to get home Friday. Tonight we had a dinner cruise that our teachers planned for us. It was so much fun. We just went on the river around the Charles bridge. Well I love you all and I will see you all Friday!
I LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The week and Kutna Hora!


So the last few days have been really busy with school and midterms and final projects! Thursday in my Prague Ideologies we had a guest speaker Dr. Pene. He did an amazing job! He will also be giving another lecture on Tuesday. I am pretty excited about it. After class we all met up at Prague college at 1 and went on a tour of Radio Free Europe. It was so amazing. We were able to tour the building and her from a lady who has been working there for over thirty years. Then we watched a video about RFE and learned what it was. For those of you who don't know, RFE was a free radio broadcast that went on air when WWII was going to let the people know what was really happening. Many reporters have died in the last few years and longer than that. It was awesome to be in the room were huge decisions were made about countries. Today they still receive threats that the building will get bombed and so on. The building is moving to a location right down the street from where it is located now. They are hoping everything will be done by January. Today Nikki, Jenn, Jose, and myself went to Kutna Hora to go see the famous Bone Church. I have never seen so many skulls in my life. It was really interesting and sweet looking.The train ride there was about an hour and we met some pretty nice people. After visiting the church we did a little shopping and then took another little train into the main town, where we got some lunch. It was SO good and there was so much of it. I really liked this town because it was just a town and not so trustiest. We walked around from about and hour and then decided to catch the train back home. Some how we missed our little train ride back to the main station twice. We thought we were going to have to wait for the later train. Then who would have had to wait about three more hours. Some how we caught a train to the main station and caught the train we thought we were going to miss. Everything worked out perfectly! The only thing that stinks about this weekend is that we were unable to get tickets to Freiburg Germany to go see the temple and do baptisms for the dead. Then I told myself "Every thing happens for a reason!". I think I know why know it didn't work and it is for a good reason. Well I love you all and will keep up the posts when I can. Love you and I will see you all next Friday!
