Tragedy Strikes in Prague!

Greetings from Praha!

We finally arrived here safely after a 6 hour train ride from Berlin. The train was 2 hours late, but it was a pleasant ride through the countryside. We even passed through a national park.

Yesterday we did a free walking tour of the city, and learned an immense amount about Prague's history. We saw the Old Town Square, the Charles Bridge, and the Jewish Quarter, which includes the second oldest synagogue in Europe!

Unfortunately, Kelsey has been sick for a while, so today we took her to a doctor. The doctor gave her antibiotics, so we are hoping that she is on the mend. In order to help speed her recovery, we have decided to stay in nicer accomodations (a hotel) in Budapest rather than the 9-person room we had booked. We found a reasonably priced hotel in the center of town (contact information to come soon).

Tomorrow we will take the train to Budapest. It is a seven-hour ride, so hopefully Kelsey can get the rest she needs.

Despite Kelsey's condition, we love Prague and have enjoyed our time here.

To our parents: please talk amongst yourselves and figure out who is picking us up at the airport on Friday. Our flight information should be in your email. We look forward to seeing at least one of you there. Just to warn you, we are planning on making an In-N-Out stop on our way home. That is non-negotiable :)

We love and miss you all!
