better update

Ok, now that I’ve got more time here is a better up date. The flight over went pretty well, but if you ever fly Air India make sure and stay away from the lamb curry…It’s still playing tricks on me…LOL! Once we got into Frankfurt we got out and walked around for a while then headed out to a scenic town just north of there. I don’t remember its name but it was a very picturesque community. Once we left there we hopped on the train and headed to Berlin. We got into East Berlin around 10:30 that evening. Wow! What a shady town! Walking around East Berlin that late in the evening trying to find a hostel isn’t what I would call very safe. young folk everywhere walking around in packs all carrying some type of alcoholic beverage. The scary part was knowing that they could have overpowered us at any time if they chose to. After wandering around for a while we finally found our hostel down a dark corridor. Miles and I looked at each other but didn’t really have to say a word; we both knew what the other was thinking. After checking in and settling down for the night, we woke up to a hostel bubbling with young people recovering from a hard night of partying. Once we shower off and grabbed our gear we headed out to see Berlin. For the most part we stayed in the East and walked along a section of where the wall once ran. We spent about three hours just walking and checking out the sights. We happened upon the largest domed cathedral in Berlin and decided that was where we would spend our Sunday service. At first they weren’t going to let us in because of our huge backpacks, but after a while of Miles persistency they let us in. We sat in the very back corner where we could hear the service translated into English. Once the service was over we jumped on the next train out to Prague. We arrived in Prague around five that evening and just wandered around town for several hours enjoying the sights. Settling into the hostel for the evening was a welcomed relief; it felt great ditching those heavy backpacks and putting some lighter shoes on. After a little break we left our gear and headed back out on the town. The towns center was set up with a huge screen and packed with people who came out to drink and watch the soccer play offs. We grabbed a bite to eat and headed back to the hostel for the night.
