Prague is a great city, very busy, lots to see We got to see the Bodyworks display, the one with all the real bodies preserved with silicon. Really cool. National Museum had lots to see some of it was like re-living my undergraduate degree. Great squares to visit, shop, people watch, eat etc. Wonderful transit system made life easy.

Brno was good. Small but we were only there one day. I dragged Ryan to the Mendel Museum and forced him to learn about genetics and Punnett squares and stuff. We also went into the crypts and saw really mummified bodies of preists and monks. They were really dried up.

Bratislava is nice. It is now very hot and not a drop of rain in sight. Castle was neat. We are staying on a boat for our hotel. http://botelmarina.sk/ Pretty neat, the swaying is hard when you have had a few beverages. We went to the Sovak Pub http://www.sovapub.sk/ realy great. Huge place, 12 inch plank wooden floor and huge wooden tables and chairs and loads of people. It is a university pub and has great prices if you can proove you are a student. It was loud and rowdy and great.

Ryan took a crapshoot at the huge menu and picked something not really knowing what it was and it turned out great. It turned out to taste like perogies without the wrapper. Finding the place was a fluke but a good one.

There is so much smoking in Europe, our most disturbing sight was a woman 8-9 months pregnant with a cigarette in one hand. (In Ryans mind she was drinking too)

Off to sail down the Danube tomorrow to Vienna. Life is hard.
