170. I loved Prague

Thu Aug 23, 2012, 01:07 AM

Aug 2012

One of my favorite European trips so far. Prague was amazing, and I have some family roots there as well.

But Berlin was my first European trip, and I have a love for that city as well. There is just so much history there, it's chilling. The evil that was done in the past is not forgotten, but the people there now are so vibrant and friendly, I had a fantastic time both times I've visited.
