I've never sweat so much in my life
Okay, so today in Prague was very sweaty. And I'm totally not kidding. I don't think I've ever sweat this much in my life. This is out of control. It is freakishly hot here, and really humid, and we had the bright idea of doing a bike tour of the city starting at 11:30 AM, so in the heat of the day. Riiiiight. Well, the bike tour was actually really good and super fun, but still hot. Then, we walked to the Prague Castle, and walked some more and then went to dinner in a restaurant that was not air conditioned and therefore felt like an inferno. I might have sweat more during dinner than I did during the bike tour, but oh well. Okay, back to the bikes. Basically it was a 2 1/2 hour tour of Prague, done on bicycles, and it was really fun. We had a tour guide who spoke English, and we saw all the major sites in Prague and got to see some scenery too. I might have gotten a little carried away with the bell on my bike. But I've never had a bell on my bike before!!! And some of the sidewalks and streets we were riding on were crowded with pedestrians. How else was I to let them know I was coming? I think Sandy might have almost fallen off her bike because she was laughing so hard at my bell ringing. And some of the pedestrians were giving me dirty looks. But I was just trying to be a good bicyclist, I swear. Although the bike tour was awesome, there were times where I feared for my life. I think our tour guide was trying to cheat death, because at one point he pulled out in front of an oncoming tram, and we almost got ran over. And then we cut off a police car with like 6 officers inside and they flipped us off. Needless to say, they were not pleased. My bell did not help with either of those situations. But other than the near death experiences, the bikeride was really fun, and Prague is great. Its such a cool city. They have jumbotrons with the World Cup games in their city center, so everyone watches the games there, and its a great atmosphere. People paint their faces and have chants, its like a sports fan's dream come true. Really cool. And tomorrow we'll be in Munich, just in time for the US vs. Ghana game, so that should be really fun. Bye for now!
