I am in Prague now. I got in late Monday night. What was supposed to be a 7 hour trip from Gaming took a little over 10. The city is amazing, as is the beer. I drank about 3 liters of Pilsner Urquell throughout the course of yesterday, and it only cost me about 6 euros. Prague would be a great cheap place to come with a group of friends and just relax and drink. I met an older guy from Scotland at the bar, and we sat and talked about travelling and whatnot for a couple hours. Then I met 2 Australians, Chris and Steve, who arrived in the dorm room at about 8 and we ran out to grab some goulash. I have met so many people from down under while travelling. They were on their 4 month travels, and had just come over from the states.

I had wandered through the old city earlier in the day, and saw the Astronomical clock with its little Apostolic procession on the hour. I also saw some churches, but they are far more impressive from the outside than they are from the inside. The architecture here is just amazing. The girls are very beautiful as well: tall and light-skinned with dark hair. Prague is, however, probably the most liberal country I have been to so far as regards drugs, prostitution, etc. Granted I have not been to the Netherlands.

Oh yeah! Last night some body stole Steve's pants from the floor of the room and then took them to the bathroom and stole his wallet and phone. I found his pants in the shower stall this morning. It sucked having to bring them to him. He had about 500 US dollars worth of Euros and Czech Crowns on him, as well as all of his credit cards. And another one of the room-mates had his backpack stolen at the same time, but had nothing of value in it. Luckily my wallet was still in my pants, under my bed. I was scared for a second. I think I will be sleeping with my wallet from now on. I have one more night paid for in this hostel, and then I will move to another one. I will be in Prague until either Friday or Saturday, and then go to stay with a relative from my dad's side, Paul, and his family in Budapest.

And I know you all want more pictures, especially of Theresia, but I have yet to find a Czech computer place that has computers with USB ports. The one I am on right now is actually running on a Linux operating system. But as soon as I can, I will post some more photos.

HAPPY EASTER!!

So in case you haven't heard, I am in Austria right now. Gaming, Austria, to be exact. The whole Fontgombault for Easter thing just didn't work out. The strikes made me apprehensive to buy my ticket, and then when I finally tried to buy one from Milan to Paris, they were completely booked. It's not so bad though. My dad was over in Frankfurt for one day of meetings, and then he came down and we met up in Cinque Terre, Italy. We then went down to Sienna and did some bike riding and wine tasting in the Chianti region of Tuscany. One of the wineries we went too was the house where Machiavelli wrote The Prince. The winery was of course named Machiavelli. From there we made the drive up to Gaming on Holy Thursday. I got to see my 2 day old niece, Theresia Sophia Kuebler. She has dark hair and eyes (completely opposite of Peter) and large cheeks. She also has a dimple in her chin and one in each cheek when she smiles. It's been a bit overcast, and I have been waiting for the sun to come out to take some nice pictures of her. I'll get them up on here as soon as I get them.

Saturday we went into Salzburg. My dad, Maria, Theresia, Augusta Grimm, and Annie all drove in my dad's car, and Jared, Peter, Therese, and I took the train. We went to the Easter Vigil that night. Easter Sunday we walked around town, and that night we went to a huge brewery/beer house there. You could buy half-liter or liter steins and then go to the guy and have them filled up. We also had some bratwurst, wiener schnitzel, ham, sauerkraut, and pretzels. It was quite a feast. All in all, between the 7 of us (Annie, Jared, Maria, dad, Peter, Theresia, and me), we drank 7 liters, but it wasn't all equal shares. The place was authentic and awesome. There were 4 beer halls in total, and then some outdoor seating as well. The total seating capacity for the place was 1,000! So even though I didn't make it to France for Easter, it was great celebrating Easter with family in Europe. I don't know if that will ever happen again, so I think it was at least an even trade. I plan to stop by Norcia before flying back to London.

My dad leaves tomorrow, and I will probably take a day trip to Vienna. I think I will probably stay here until Saturday before heading to Munich or Prague.

So to get back up to the present, here is where I have been since Seville:
