I loved Prague. I fell in love as soon as we arrived at the Old Market Hall. It was bustling with people, music, smells, dancing...you name it. Everyone was preparing for Easter and it was such pleasant, jovial atmosphere.
I had this fried cheese which was great - but not the best idea before skydiving - which we had booked and were doing shortly after our arrival. We went to the building where met this lovely Japanese couple who was coming with us. The girl was studying to get her PHD from Yale!! She knew Fairfield and Frankie Pepes!! We all got in the car and took a 45 minute drive to the jump site.
When we got there, there were tons of people in jump suits walking around, people falling out of the air, and a laid back atmosphere. We got signed a waiver (didn' have to pay until after the jump in case anything went wrong...), got a 5 minute instruction on what to do and was told our jump time would be in 25 minutes. Sounds good. We were so concerned with taking photos that I think our instructors thought we were a little silly..."girls - Pay attention!!" Soooo more concerned with mobile uploads duh. We all had crushes on our instructors. Ali's guy was adorable and nice, Mary's was tall dark and handsome (just her type wink), and mine was the cheekiest one, the boss (with over 10,000 jumps) and I'm pretty sure he was playing hard to get....

The jump was incredible and such an adrenaline rush. I think I am going to make it my mission to skydive on every continent - but we'll see. The more I travel, the longer my bucket list gets. After the jump we celebrated with a brew, and took a ride back to the city. We went on a Pub Crawl and weirdly ran into a friend that we had met in Budapest! Small World.

The next day was Easter. We walked by a church and stood out front - so unfortunately I have to count that as my mass. I think we walked about 20 miles this day. We also rented paddle boats and explored the river for an hour. We walked across the St. Charles Bridge which was wild, saw the famous John Lennon Wall, and hung out at the Castle for a while. Prague was absolutely breathtaking.

Appropriate for our trip :)

Everything in the city from the river to the building to the art was amazing. I'd love to go back because two days definitely were not enough.
