Rebecca Ikard: thoughts about Prague -- onward to Poland!



One of the best parts about visiting Prague would have to be admiring all of the amazing structures and architecture that are all around us. There are so many intricate details to almost every building that I found mesmerizing. A few days ago a group of us went to visit the Prague Castle around sunset. The beauty of Prague became apparent as we climbed many flights of stairs to get to the castle above the city. The city at sunset was breathtaking and we felt as if we were in a dream. We could see the Charles Bridge in the background decorated with numerous religious statues. The gothic influences on so many of the buildings in the setting sun was a sight that will not be forgotten. We are leaving Prague today for Krakow, Poland and the city of Prague and all of its beauty will be greatly missed! As an American, experiencing the type of architectural beauty that exists here in Prague cannot really be found back home in Austin. It's hard to believe that our journey in Europe is already almost half over. Although many things are so different than we are used to in The United States, we are soaking up the culture and learning more about ourselves everyday.
