The weekend before Christmas, we traveled to Prague via train. It took us about 4 hours to get there and we were accompanied by Erin Murphy. Erin hung out with us for 2 weeks while on her winter break from the University in Norwich, England. Ryan was obsessed with the Charles Bridge, because the opening scene for Mission Impossible was filmed there. The city was really beautiful and extremely cold. There are tons of crystal and glass shops and souvenir shops. We went into a store on every block just to warm up...and of course look at all of the goodies! Needless to say Erin and Ryan were sick of the glass shops...I however, cannot say the same for myself. It was so pretty! The architecture is of the medieval style and the town is really beautiful! Here are some pics from our trip!!
