A weekend away

Trio visiting Prague (our favorite city so far) once again.

 A weekend away from Olomouc

I've learned to love the Czech Republic and nothing more. This weekend we took our first field trip to the Czech Republic. Even though I've visited the city before I was not disappointed with Prague once again. I've gathered more knowledge and history within this city that it amazes me how I've have not known about Prague before this trip. Between the Prague castle and Jewish quarters, my mind is in constant motion about the historical landmarks I've walked on.

The Prague castle has been #3 on my bucket list for a few years now. My legs were trembling as I walked into the massive architecture. It amazes me how life back in the day was like I wish I could go back in time and experience first hand. The lifestyle here continues to amaze me everyday.  Prague was a little too packed this time around since everyone was around for the holiday. I was a little upset about all the tourist scattered throughout all of Prague since I felt like I couldn’t enjoy any of the historic landmarks without running over someone.

What is Jessica and I without food?

However, Prague wasn't the only city the Nebraskans visited this weekend. We took our journey to Germany on Saturday. I was absolutely fascinating by the beauty behind the city. The amazing thing about Europe is you can always expect something new and extraordinary in every city you visit. I'm someone who is mesmerized by structure and complexion of buildings. Dresden proved to be nothing but amazing to me. I wish I could've spent more time in Germany. Dresden is definitely a place I will visit again in my future.

We endured countless stairs and a chilly breeze but eventually made it to the top of the church in Dresden.

The Europeans are so use to the beautiful structure that they seem to look at me weird when I sit there with my camera taking non stop selfies. They don't understand what a beautiful country they live in. I've notice I am much too friendly compared to the civilians in Europe. I find myself walking the streets with nothing but a smile on my face but they have no emotions or reactions. This is a beautiful world we live in and I don't think everyone appreciates the land we walk on.

I've found myself a little homesick these past few days since this was my first Easter without my family. It's hard to be thousands of miles away from the people you love. I would do anything to have them here enjoying this trip with me. My family members are history nerds that I know they would love the city of Dresden and Prague as much as I did. I also never thought I'd miss free water or bathrooms as much as I do. Everyday is a new lesson to me. Everyday is a new experience. I never know what to expect and it amazes me how intriguing life is over here. I don't have a set schedule or even a set plan for these next few months.

 

Until next time Dresden & Prague
