Prague






This weekend we went to Prague. Prague is in Czech Republic (another country). We stayed in hotel with 5 floors and our room had steps! It had all these little hiding places which made it fun to play hide and seek. Anyway Prague has this big bridge. The Charles bridge with people selling stuff. Within every like 3 ft. there was a statue of a saint or something. The second day we went to a castle and climbed a hill so huge that it had a lift called a funicular  (said like - Fin-inc-ular) At the tip top there was a mirror maze. I walked into walls at least 5 times! We also saw a church that was so pretty and so huge.The third day we walked up an even higher hill to see a castle but, no funicular. We went with our old aupair (or babysitter) Micheala. She is Czech and could tell us a lot about the history of Czech Republic and the 20,000 castles in it. When we were with her we got big cookies! They were really good. Guess what! I got to hold an owl. He was really big and heavy but, he was really soft and really friendly. We also learned a word in Czech. Zeer- it means cheese. Anyway please enjoy the pictures and I will try to post pictures of our apartment soon. Bye! - Gillian (Please Comment)
