Friday.... Prague adventures
On Friday Mack and I walked around little quarter to discover some hidden gems. We stumbled upon Wellington palace and meandered through it's gardens and soaked up as much sun as possible.
I guess it was build by a general of some sort during Ferdinand's reign, 1600's. He soon sought the crown and was eventually killed by Ferdinand for his greed. I think Wellington wanted his grounds also to surpass the beauty of the Prague castle (which looks more like a palace then castle).

this is limestone carved to look like a cave wall covered in stalactites

Also on Friday we visited the church of Nicholas. This church is considered to be one of the best examples of High Baroque in Prague. It was built be a father son team, completed in 1761, roughly 60 years after the project began sadly neither father or son saw the building completed.

the dome reflects the celebration of the holy trinity.


We got our window back!! At 9:00 am on Monday morning the same old man who took our mysteriously broken window away returned with it patched, reconstructed and placed it back in it's original spot. We have no idea how our window was broken in the first place, but we are sure glad to see the cardboard makeshift window gone and our glass back.


now that the window is back we definitely get more light in the room.

look at the cute little flower my mom sent me! (I think it's from christopher's)

nothing says classy like cardboard over your window,
it's great for keeping out noise and rain!
