At Home in Prague

We finally got to go grocery shopping today after a couple days of eating out for every meal and now we are fully equipped to cook for ourselves. As confusing as the Czech grocery store was, I got up the nerves to order meat and cheese from the deli by saying "deset" (ten) of everything and pointing and then thanking them several times.

Here is a picture of our first roommate dinner: we had pesto pasta, bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and sautéed tomatoes and broccoli in garlic.

Last night we went out as roommates to Old Town Square to do our daily writing and drawing assignment which turned into a trip to get gelato which was delicious. We are getting the metro and tram routes down too which makes it easier to get to where we want to go. We have no curfew which is such a great feeling: not that I am a big partier at all but that we can have the freedom to be out if we want even if we are just doing homework.
Today we went to Lobkowicz Castle to explore the amazing paintings, weapons collection, porcelain, eat an amazing 4 course meal and listen to a concert. After making a tour of the castle, during which we saw the living heir to the Lobkowicz Castle, we went to lunch out on a terrace where we had hot soup, salad, goulash with bread and cheesecake, complete with blankets to keep us warm since it didn't get over 45 today. After lunch we went to a concert in a little room of the castle that had a variety of different composers and pieces played by a pianist, violinist, and flutist. It was absolutely beautiful and a great chance to sit back and relax. This is a picture of Trevor and I at lunch enjoying our delicious coffee and soup to start with.
Here is just a part of the view from the castle we walked up to today. The walk was only about 15 minutes and from the top we had a 180 degree view of Prague that was breathtaking.
Here is St Vitus Cathedral, the cathedral and the castle. Amazing.
