From Turkey, we headed to Prague in the Czech Republic where we were expecting to meet up with a few of the girls studying in Rome. They weren't arriving for another couple of days so we decided to head to the palace in the morning and do a bit of sightseeing and derive-ing. The morning the girls were to arrive, we thought we'd get an early start and hit up some sights before they arrived so we could meet them back at the hostel. We were sitting in the breakfast room eating our strangely textured cornflakes when we hear someone say "Oh... people I know." We all look up and Matt Harenchar was standing there. It took a few seconds for us to realize it was him. Apparently he was there with Dean and Ryan and they had sent him down to see if we were there. A few minutes later, the other boys show up and after a little catch up talk, we agree to meet back at the hostel later that afternoon to get together with the girls.
I totally forgot to mention our roommate -- of course in a hostel, you risk sharing a room with a complete stranger. We walked into the room the first day and was a little skeptical about who this mystery guy was. He had army colored clothes laid out on his bed and we could only assume what kind of guy he was. Turns out he was a pretty cool guy. A fellow photographer, I might add. We invited him to have dinner with us and we ended up hanging out with him the rest of the trip.
So back to the first night with the Rome kids...
I think speaking for all of us, we made up for having neither the time nor energy to go out in Turkey. Also, from the moment we met up with the other boys, the rest of the trip became a blur. We took the most amazing tour of my life -- the Staropramen Beer Factory. But besides that, I highly recommend the venison sausage dogs and the sugar swirly rolls in the Old Town Square.
