Greetings from Praha!

I am sitting at a computer in the Hotel Belvedere just a couple blocks away from my beautiful apartment in the Letna neighborhood of Prague. I only have a few minutes before meeting my roommates to go to breakfast and orientation, so there will be much more to come in a later post. Right now, there are two important things that everyone reading this should know:

1) DO NOT SEND MAIL TO MY APARTMENT YET. The post office has lost the key to our mailbox and the landlord is currently out of town on vacation. I'll post when the situation is fixed. Also, the CET mailing address I posted is incorrect. I'll post the correct address hopefully by tomorrow night and you can send me things there in the meantime.

2) THIS CITY IS AMAZING!!! Maybe you didn't really need to know that, but I had to share it with the world. Prague is without a doubt one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen, and I've only been as far as six tram stops away from my apartment. There is an old gothic-looking church just a few blocks from where I live and all the buildings are centuries old. My apartment is really nice, and even with five people in two bedrooms I think we'll have plenty of space.

Alright, I must go. Take care all!
