Spring has finally arrived!

Spring has arrived in Prague after weeks of insane wavering between spring and winter.  The day I left for spring break, it snowed.  A week before that, I walked to the grocery store (2 blocks away from the dorm) in the sun, and when I left the store, it was hailing.  As I was walking back to the dorm, the hail changed to rain before all of the clouds went away and it was sunny again.  I'm not kidding, it was like that for nearly a week.

Luckily, after spring break there was a big change in the weather situation in Prague.  It was sunny.  And hot--we're talking in the 70 degrees range.  And all of a sudden, everything in the city was green.  I'll have more pictures of Prague spring amazingness in later posts, but here are some pictures of my friend Katie and I doing some paddle boating on the Vltava River.

Katie's pretty excited


It was a beautiful day, so there were a lot of other people on the river


National Theater


In case you've forgotten since I've been away so long, that's me.

Prague Castle off in the distance




The only swan paddle boat.  It was really, really slow.  We will be getting this boat at some point before we leave.
