Back from Europe

So here's the last pictures of Prague. Back in New York now.





This is the coolest church ever...




It didn't happen if it's not on Facebook.
Uhh...seriously?

Prague Part 2

It's a bit strange doing these posts after the fact, I can't really remember/don't want to go into detail about what all these are. At some point the second set of relatives arrived, for some reason I didn't take any pictures of the first set (Aunt Renee' and cousin Morgan) which is a real shame since without Renee', I would have had to pay for a plane ticket over here. Sorry Renee'! Next time! Anyway, all around Prague in the first few days. There will probably be one more set of Europe photos after I get back. Going home tomorrow. See you soon!


The staircase in our apartment building. Art Noveau is the best.

Pa Dukes?

Old World Underground

Trains rule. We need more in the States. I got on a train at 7 PM in Amsterdam, had a few Budweisers (the Czech one), talked to my American carmates (one of whom oddly enough goes to school in Lexington), passed out and woke up in Prague. In typical family tradition, no one was there to meet me at the station. I found my way to the apartment only to realize no one had told me the apartment number. I was trying to use a payphone that kept eating my money when my parents and sister rounded the corner and found me. Prague is beautiful. Like incredibly beautiful. Don't take my word for it, check the pictures.

When the sun sets on a king and rises for a prince...
When in Prague, I suppose

Amsterdam!

Seriously forgot how cool Amsterdam is. Tons of museums, night clubs, bars, coffee shops, etc. And oh so beautiful. Not much to report from Amsterdam, I did a lot of sight-seeing for 24 hours there. I stayed in a budget hotel in a 5 bed room but was the only one in there. Kind of appropriate to end such a solitary trip by having a room to myself at a hostel...


En route to Amersfoort
I mean, these houses are all over the place, couldn't they just give me one of them? This is outside my hotel room, it's hard to see the warm glow of the neon sign DIRECTLY outside my window.

Wish I was...
Obligatory canal picture.


Creepy art installation at the Stedilijk Bureau. The faces moved and talked in these weird voices and looked very realistic.
Goodbye Netherlands! Hello Prague!
