Thanksgiving in Prague

We took an Orangeways bus from Krakow to Prague. It’s like our Megabus. Cheap and comfy. We ended up spending Thanksgiving here. Even though we were away from home, we had a darn good time. The plan was find a bar that was showing football - NFL football, not the soccer crap - and to make hand-print-turkeys out of construction paper. That we did. Google is magical. Kristen found a few places online and we checked a couple of them out that morning. One of them was showing the games, serving a turkey dinner, and taking reservations. Done and done. We ended up meeting some guys at our hostel who tagged along, then since the bar was crowded, shared a table with a few other people and we had a blast. Even the arts & crafts session was a hit. People got creative.

Oh, and the dinner was actually really good. They gave us a huge plate of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, vegetables & croquettes.

It probably sounds like all we do is eat. It’s kind of true. What can I say though? We love food. We usually go to a grocery store the first day in city and buy enough to make most of our meals at the hostel, then try to find a good recommendation for a meal in each city. So far, those have been sooo good, and sooo much fun. Prague’s tasty meal was at Café Louvre. Recommended by a friend and two of the receptionists at our place, we had what I consider my third fav meal of the trip: pea soup with garlic, mashed potatoes, & bacon, an avocado tomato mozzarella salad, then potato gnocchi with salmon. It was delicious!

We spent a lot of time walking around the city, surprise surprise. It is super beautiful. We skipped out on the free walking tour here because we were scarred by the ones in Poland. As with every other city, there were lots of cathedrals, castles, etc. We saw the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra one night, which was ah-mazing.
