Hello faithful blog readers,
Agnes here.
Gemma and i made it safely to Dresden this afternoon. We arrived at our Servas host, were fed delicious rubarb cake and tea and then were taken on a hike to a panorama. I don't think my heart has reached that rate since we realized we may never get out of Greece, but the view was amazing!
Prague was amazing and has stolen my heart. I would love nothing more than to study there! Our best Servas hosts to date were there and have learned that hosts really have an effect on how good the city is. We were able to see so much including: the Charles bridge, all of the Jewish quarter (old-new synagogue, spanish synagogue, cerimonial hall, pinkas synagogue, ect.) we also went the mucha musuem and the prague castle. i really wanted to go to the postage stamp musuem but sadly could not find it.
I realize that i have not written about Hungary yet, and so to placate my darling mother: Budapest was great. We had the chance to see the musuem of fine arts (which incidentally had a Mucha exhibition), heroes square, the yellow underground (oldest in Europe), st. stephens basillica, parliament, and many wonderful panoramas of the city. the national gallery was closed on the day we triend to go, but the funicular ride up the hill was very fun regardless!
Up next: six nights in Dresden and then the zoo in Berlin! just kidding... sort of... :D
Hope you are all well
Peace
Agnes
p.s. my last entries title was borrowed from a líne in 'The Office' (US edition) for those of you who are curious (mami).

Hi, Agnes. Thanks for sending your blog address. Not quite like being there, but it sure is fun to travel vicariously. I notice you write a lot about what you are eating… Have fun; keep writing; buon appetit!
ReplyDeleteI'm sending Ida your email address. Her's is aiyamei@yahoo.com. Definitely visit her. I don't have her phone number with me, but I'll send it when I get home.

perhaps you could not find
ReplyDeletethe postage stamp museum
due to its size
as in perhaps they mimicked the size of a
postage stamp
in their construction of the museum
to really get at the heart of a
postage
stamp
that was a poem
