...Lord I'm Coming home to you!! Whew this is a fast post because I don't have much time before my wireless runs out BUT I will be home in 2 days! My plane officially lands in the Houston airport at 7:35.
This has been such a trip and I have stories to tell and pictures to share.
Lets me tell you guys thank you so much for all your prayers, there have been some close moments on this trip and it is by the grace of God and his hand that things not only worked out the way they did but that situations didn't become worse or what they should have been. So Praise God!

Pick Pocketers Stink!
*sigh* We are leaving Prague tomorrow and the Study Abroad portion of my trip is about to officially come to a close. This makes my heart sad. I feel like I just arrived in Europe, although my feet disagree.
Today was a free day in Prague and we walked around A LOT :) did some shopping went back to the bridge, it was grand. I love this town I really do, the buildings are beautiful and the city is nice. So we went to the bridge to purchase paintings and I had money stolen from me. :( Not so great but it could have been worse...I still don't know how they were able to do that. On a brighter note we did find this wonderful Italian place and it was amazing! :) After a little more shopping we headed back to the hotel where we had our final farewell meeting...an interesting slideshow, a tearful good byes, and one cool bag :).
We head back to Munich tomorrow and hopefully we won't have the same problem that we did coming into the Czech Republic...an hour stopped at the boarder was not my idea of fun.
We have our hotels/hostels booked from Paris and London, now we just have to take care of Nice and Madrid! How exciting is that?! Oh and we are meeting up with some Aggies in Paris!!! Apparently the Cycling Club or something along those lines gives bike tours in Paris, one of the girls is good friends with a bunch of the guys who give the tours so we are going to meet up with them! I'm excited! :)
So I don't know when I will be able to get online again but here is the plans for Sunday until I get back (if you are interested):
Aug 5: Fly to Paris
Aug 6: Paris all day - train to London at 9pm
Aug 7: London!!
Aug 8: 6am train back to Paris, Paris during the day and then Night train to Nice
Aug 9: Arrive in Nice about 7am
Aug 10: Nice
Aug 11: Travel to Madrid
Aug 12: Madrid...BULLFIGHTING :) hehe
Aug 13: Madrid
Aug 14: Toledo leave at 7pm for Paris
Aug 15: 8am arrive in Paris, sightsee for a bit, flight leaves at 3pm!
Hope you all are doing well! It's late here and I need sleep so I can wake up at 6am!

Our Bus Drive takes glamor shots....
Yes he does!!! Haha he put them out for us to see and they are soo funny :) they make my heart smile! So this will have to be quick I apologize I don't have much time to update but I will try to do my best in the little time I have.
We have been to Vienna, Salzburg, Bratislava, and now I am in Prague since I last updated and man has it been a wonderful. Bratislava and Prague have been such eye openers to what life truely was on the other side of the Iron Curtian even today 18 years after it actually fell. I cannot wait to come back and tell you all everything!
My memory cards are full...over 2000 pictures and still so much to see...thank goodness I brought my computer and CDs to burn. :) Prague is amazing there is so much to see and do and speaking of doing...I am going shopping tomorrow!!! :) And going to an Opera :)
I know this was short and I have so much I want to say but I have to go finish my journal to turn in tomorrow morning. I can't believe that tomorrow we have our farewell meeting, then we head to Munich and then fly to Paris on sunday morning! Whew, has this flown by!
Hope you all are staying cool!
ps...Our hotel here is sweet!!! 5 Stars and aprox 500 euros a night... you do the math...
