Prague Day 2

This morning, not going to lie was a little bit of a struggle functioning after the night we all had. We got a late start to our day and went straight to the bagel place. Had to get french fries with my wrap this time for the hangover cure. We decided to go straight to the Jewish district, the place we're all the Jews were contained in Prague, and not allowed to go outside of the borders. We bought one ticket to go to all the main museums in the area. We first went to the Pinkas Synagogue, which is dedicated to the Jewish victims of the Holocaust from Bohemia and Moravia. All of the victims names are inscribed on the walls covering an entire building. The building attached was my favorite part. It has an incredible story behind it. A German school teacher smuggled in suitcases several thousand drawings by children staying in the Terezin concentration camp to Prague. It comprises some 4,500 artworks by Jewish children who were incarcerated during the second world war in the Terezín ghetto. You could see the hurt and pain in these kids' drawings and it was shocking that the school teacher was able to risk her life to help these kids and start this project of them revealing their feelings through art.

 We next walked through the graveyard which I explained about earlier which was almost sickening to see all of the head stones piled completely one on top of the other.

 After exploring through the Jewish quarter, we were off to find the Lennon wall. This however was not as easy as we thought since we never really got exact directions how to get there. It was quite an adventure though, and we came across some interesting things along the way. For instance, these creepy baby statutes we came across. After a couple hours we finally came across the Lennon wall.

After getting our pictures, we headed back to the square and did some shopping. I didn't get anything because the prices were pretty expensive and my ankle was not in the mood to be shopping around a mall. This was the night we went back to the place we ate the first night, and the whole check fiasco happened. We got ready and went back to "The Pub" to actually go there at night for our pregame. We had so much fun, and I decided to just go back to the apartment when we left there around 1pm instead of going out to the club. We had to catch an early train the next morning to Vienna, but of course we made time before to go to the bagel place.
