...and thank you God for this beer

Greetings from Prague! David and I are spending our last night here with some international students from Czech Technical College before heading on to Vienna tomorrow!

Prague has been amazing. If you haven't been there, go; if you have, go back. Every bit of the city seems beautiful: a huge river, countless bridges, statues and marble galore, all overlooked by a huge castle with sweeping vineyards. Yesterday David and I climbed to the top of Petrin tower, a little minature Eiffel tower that had the most amazing view of the city. There must be a building code that requires all buildings to have orange roofs and flower boxes in their windows ;-)

Tonight, David and I experienced one of the things that has made Prague famous: it's beer. Offfically the "Beer Capitol of the World," Prague is most especially know for being the home of Pilsner; so much so that every restaurace in the city has a Pilsner sign in the window. Sadly, my first beer was not a Pilsner, but rather a teeny tiny glass of "orignial" Budweiser (still, plenty for me ;-)

ps: today's title comes straight from David's prayer for our meal. Priceless.
