What a whirlwind of a week-- I was SO excited about Erica coming to visit, then we had a FABULOUS spring break holiday (obviously), and now I'm back at school..

When I picked Erica up at the airport it was as if the past 8 months happened in 1 day- we chatted non stop for the whole week, got to visit a very interesting part of eastern europe, and enjoyed the gorgeous spring weather. One reality-check moment was her getting to meet and spend time with my new friends and collegues here in Prague. It was strange at first to be sitting in the Zizkov beer garden with my Praha bff's AND sister, but after about 3 seconds I realized this is absolutely perrrfect.
After Erica stepped off the plane we were tourist-monsters. We spent our week doing walking tours, hiking up hills in Prague and Budapest, and walking off delicious 'traditional' meals. Needless to say the 6 hours we spent at the Hungarian baths was completely necessary and worth every HU forint. Mother Nature behaved appropriately and blessed us with a full week without rain (minus the 1-hour blip in Budapest, but we were already in the restaurant for dinner so nbd) and we even got sunburned thanks to the strong sun and temps in the 70s!

I know that we would have a blast no matter the time or place, but spring in Prague is probably the best time to visit. The Easter markets are up, the forsythia plants in full bloom, and green grass and trees make a nice contrast to the colorful architechture and natural beauty already in place. We took advantage of every minute possible!
