PEACE, LOVE, OBAMA

Wooo making progress on these entries, 3 in one night! So OBAMA DAY! WOOO! We all woke up at like... 530 to get to Prague Castle so we could get a good spot to see/ hear Obama Speak for the first time since being president in Europe.

The trams that morning were packed. It sucks being short. I got smashed into the tram with my face in at least 4 armpits. Thank goodness it was the beginning of the day so there was no B.O. BUT someone did rip a major fart when we were on the tram and it reeeked soooo bad! hahahaha

And when we got near the castle we rushed out of the tram because it was just so horrible. We then sort or sped walked to get into line to enter the castle grounds. They started letting people in at 7 o'clock and we had to get checked by security which in my opinion i thought was really lax for having the president of the United States coming out to talk. So because we woke up so early we did get really good spots. The only thing that sucked was that I'm short, and everyone around me was tall. So as you will see from my pictures... it was really hard to see anything. hahahaha. oh well.

Some Prague Policemen

So we waited for like 3 hrs because Obama was scheduled to talk at like 10am.
In the meantime they were passing out flags and they threw them into the crowd. This was a bit dangerous because they threw them and the soared through the air like mini javelins! hahaha. So when Obama finally came out. I could not see anything... And so I jumped on my friend's shoulders to try and get a photo of Obama speaking, but we were at the exact angle where his fave was entirely covered by the telepromter!

NOOOO MAJOR FAIL!

Make sure you click on this picture and zoom to where Obama's face should be. hahahaha


Green Peace Guy: Be the Change on Climate Change

hahaha But it was still really cool hearing him speak and everyone was soo into it.

Uh... what else did we do... OOOH we went to this place called RADOST FX afterwards for brunch. It's a really cool place to hang out. During the day it's a restaurant/ bar/ lounge and at night it's a club. Anyway, they make some fantastic food! I had one of they're egg scrambles which had spinach, salmon, mushrooms, and cream cheese and it was one of the best meals I have had in Prague. I also had a Sleeping Beauty which was champange and strawberry juice which was also really good. It inspired me to buy strawberry juice at the market. hahaha

After that we headed home and napped until the evening. I don't remember what we did for dinner because... we didn't really eat dinner. . . we drank beer at our hotel and got kolbasa in Wenceslas Square.
We ended up in Malastrana again at the oldest bar in prague which was filled with animal skins, and old stuff. . . it was a weird atmosphere and the waiters and such had to wear old tunics and such. And that was the end of that day.
