From the most magical place on earth...

Rothenberg! That is where we are. It is an adorable little place - one of the last walled cities and preserved medieval towns. The streets are all cobblestone, the buildings are quaint and cute, and everything is expensive!! There are tons of little knick-knack shops all over, with odd dolls and lifesize bears...one of these days, I promise, we will post some pictures.

We are completely on our own now, and feeling strong! We met someone in our first hostel from Sydney, and we might have dinner with her! (OMG...we made a friend.) Also in our hostel room was a girl from Japan (who zeroed in on me and immediately asked if I was also Japanese) and some crazy old lady (probably in her 70s) from Bombei. Last night, we each found $3 bottles of wine, each, and drank them in the hostel dining hall... playing Go Fish and Jenga. Then we found Rock of Love on TV and watched that while Sarah and I exercised. Yep, it was a good night.

The rest of Prague was fun - it was so cheap in Eastern Europe! We are having trouble adjusting to prices, now that we are back in Western Europe - particularly so in this place. We are pretty proud of ourselves for navigating the Czech transportation system, so we are quite confident that we can handle anything now. Let us hope that that holds true. By the way, I have no idea where the apostrophe is on this keyboard, so, there will be no contractions in this post.

Tomorrow we head to Cologne and will likely begin our Eurail pass. The girl we met from Sydney told us that Berlin was not to be missed, so we may find our way there at some point. By the way, the next time you sit down with friends or family and wish to make a toast, clink your glasses while staring intently into the eyes of one another and say, "Prost!" It is a German thing, no big deal. We very much enjoy it.

Welp, that is all for now. We are off to read and journal and give each other much needed massages in the park. Klovezoubze!

.....Nora, Ali and Sarah (with lots of love)
