Freezing in Praha (Prague)

Rosie and I met up with Wade yesterday at this tea house, with the worlds most crappy overpriced tea ever, but fantastic ambiance. It was all underground with one room that was two stories high and had an old domed stone ceiling. Comfy couches and dim lanterns with shisha smoke swirling made the experience complete.
On another note, we have become experts at getting lost. It is the best way to see a city and find your way around.
We have found shops where a 4 foot crystal chandelier is cheaper than a small garnet ring, and have spent hours in negative 10 Celsius walking around.
There is an astronomical clock that tolls every hour with Death ringing his bell. (reminding us all that we dont have infinite time here) And I think there is more fur used in coats and hats and muffs here in Praha than all of the fur from all of the animals in America put together.
We have seen many St.s' tombs and many kings. Also, we have found many many friendly fellow vagabonds eager to acquaint themselves with us. Beautiful stained glass windows, wonderful beer and amazing buildings pumping American music. Definitely some place to return to.
Now we are on our way to Aushwitz-Birkanow and will practice observing our emotions without letting them consume us.
