Seahawks and Prague

First and most importantly: GO HAWKS!!! We returned from the Berlin Philharmonic around 11:15pm; the game started at 12:30am. From 11:30-12:15, Dr. Powell and I futilely tried to find a completely legal, non-sketch website to stream the game. We found nothing. Panic began to ensure. Well, more like a learned hopelessness. In our darkest hour, the bartender looked through the channels and found the American football channel complete with German commentary. Football in German = best thing ever. The game ended around 4am local time with my alarm set for 6:15am to hop on a train to Prague. We land around 12pm on Super Bowl Sunday. Kickoff is at 3:30pm. I will not miss this game, so help me super slow American customs. 

Prague: I've been here for 4ish hours now and I love it. Gorgeous city (see pics below). I love the feel and the people. We missed our train stop because some people blocked out exit off the train, and so we had the adventure of "find out how to navigate a city from an unknown location". When we got off the train a lovely old Czech woman (who knew English) gave us a map and showed us where we were and where our hostel was. Super nice and a great introduction to the Czech Republic. We took a stroll through the older parts of the city and ate dinner. Tomorrow is shopping/exploration day. Should be a good one! Tosca in the evening.
