Morning Glory

My First Morning in Prague

Inside Kostel Svatého Antonína

My roommates and me walked around the neighborhood yesterday morning to get better acquainted with Prague and with our community. Being Catholic myself, I wanted to see the two-tower cathedral that is only a block away called Kostel Svatého Antonína, so we headed there first and enjoyed the garden and the inside architecture. I love to visit cathedrals whenever I travel because they always leave me speechless and reinforce my belief that there is something god-like out there. Afterwards, we got hungry and went to this little bakery across the street from the cathedral. No one there spoke any English so we had to point at what we wanted. They had delicious looking pastries, but I ate a sandwich instead. In Prague, sandwiches are only one-sliced as opposed to two like in the United States! The sandwich was slathered with mayo, ham and some lettuce. We went went next door to get some coffee (I can't live without my coffee), then we sat on a bench in a park and enjoyed our food. The weather was alternating between hot and cold, and several times I had to remove my jacket, only to put it back on. I don’t know if I will go back to this bakery however because I am pretty sure it made me sick, as I am now encountering food-poisoning symptoms, and I guess it's just going to leave a stigma. Besides that, it was a great walk on a sunny morning.
