Heartache and Hangovers
9/4/10
Yesterday was a good, distracting way to keep my mind off of Katerina, and it was also fun. I woke up late and after showering and washing some clothes in the shower (I had only packed ONE pair of jeans since it was supposed to be summer my entire trip, but it had been cold or raining for most of August and the beginning of September), Joel, Pete, and I went to have a walk around. We went to Charles’ Bridge, the Castle, and the Cathedral, which I had not yet been inside of. They are cool guys and we all get along well with similar budgets and senses of humor. We also went to a bar to have a beer and then back to the hostel around 6 for a nap.
We went on a bar crawl that night and met two other guys from our hostel as well. I felt quite unoriginal as I watched some guys hit on the girl picking us up in the exact same cheesy way that I had just done five minutes earler. We got in and got hammered. The first place was really just a pregame, with unlimited beer and (watered down) shots for the first two hours. The second place was only OK, but the third was really good–I enjoyed the vibe and the music. Joel and I met some Czech girls and spent some time talking to them, losing the rest of the group in the process. The girl I was talking to was very cute, and I think I had quite a chance with her, but the combination of loud music and language barrier proved too much to overcome. She surprised me with a kiss as we left, though. Joel and Pete were both good wingmen, and it was the first day in a long time that I had explored and gone out with a group of people.
Joel and I made it back by a miracle. Neither of us knew where we were going and we had no map, but we somehow made it back to the hostel.
