We made it to Prague! The night train was a fun experience, we were in a very small compartment with four other people, three beds on each side. At first we questioned our decision not to splurge for some more luxurious accommodations but I don’t think it ended up too badly! We were on the top level, and at 5’6″ I wasn’t too cramped:
Unfortunately I can’t say the same for Michael, poor guy!
So there wasn’t much we could do but lay down and go to bed. Luckily we both got a decent night’s sleep, since I can sleep through anything and Michael had a nice Ambien to help him out 🙂
Our hostel in Prague is barely a hostel- it is more like a large apartment with 4 or 5 rooms and a sweet little old lady who took it upon herself to point out everything on the map upon our arrival. We have our own room which is great, lots of space to unpack! It rained all day here and is likely to do the same tomorrow. We ventured into town to the Communism Museum this afternoon, a very interesting museum chronicling the development of communism in Russia as well as the history of communism in Czechoslovakia. It seemed like a good first thing to do on our first day ever in eastern Europe! Here is a recreation of an interrogation room used by the party:
There were also a lot of anti-American propaganda posters which were humorous!
Another amusement for the day was grocery shopping- we got a fair amount of groceries for about thirteen American dollars, and it was fun to go around the store and laugh at all the things we could get for less than a dollar! As for tonight we’re just relaxing and doing laundry. Tomorrow is another walking tour so send some sunny weather our way!
Love and miss you all, Alli and Michael

Poor Michael…Dad could really relate to his space issues. I’m glad that you had so much fun at the grocery store – almost as good as the “free store”!!!
