Coming from the slow-paced Leipzig Prague was a welcome change. The hustle and bustle of Prague was a new and exciting thing to experience. From learning how to use the subway systems to navigating crowded streets Prague taught me what it was like to live in a city.
Prague was an absolutely beautiful city! The architecture and overall feel of the city were truly spectacular. Looking down on the colorful roofs and buildings from up high was unlike anything I had ever seen before. I'm used to seeing gray on top of gray in cities in the United States but Prague was colorful and upbeat. When I needed a break from the city there was this lovely path in a park that would lead me out of the city. It was truly nice to escape the crowded streets and subways to just walk in along the path in the trees.
We went to two spectacular performances in Prague the first was a performance by the Czech Philharmonic. This performance was one of my favorites! The orchestra performed pieces written by Czech composers, which made the concert more meaningful and personal to each of the performers. When this group was performing it was apparent that each of the performers found meaning in what they were doing. The other performance that we saw was an opera called Kate and the Devil. This performance was uplifting and goofy. It was a nice change of pace because most of the other performances that we had seen up until this point were rather serious. The performances that we witnessed in Prague were truly phenomenal in different ways and were some of my favorites so far in the trip.
