Well, Berlin was a blast! On D-Day we went to Checkpoint Charlie, the East Side Gallery (the largest remaining section of the Wall), and the Prater Biergarten. We ended up going to some authentic dive, an underground college bar that is Wes' (our awesome tour director, Irish) old hangout when he went to university in Germany. The stories are too many to share now, but remind me and I'll elaborate later.Yesterday we visited Dresden on our way to the Czech Republic. Dresden was very relaxed and had a throwback vibe about it that let us enjoy the history and the sights before hitting the lively streets of Prague.
Prague is wonderful. Truly. I must and will return for a longer visit, but I am enjoying every second of my time here now. As Wes says, "we collected a good day today." From the Prague Castle to the gorgeous art nouveau paintings of Alfons Mucha to the Jewish Synagogue Museum to the walk through the market, the city boasts beauty in many ways. Tonight I took a few to their first jazz club. We went to Agharta Jazz Centrum downtown to see this killer sextet and enjoy some local wine.

Prague is a great city. You gotta love any place that has inspired so many artists and writers. Any place that can nurture Kafka is ok with me
