Prague has Tonno pizza, too!

After getting on our bus and riding for 4.5 hours we made it to Prague. Today we got settled in our new location, a bed and breakfast place, and tried to get oriented. Because this is such an old city, and one that wasn't destroyed by war, the streets are not laid out in a grid. Instead, they are narrow and curvey and sometimes suddenly end. There are cobblestone streets in places with trams, electric streetcars, running in the street. Everywhere you look, there are tall, old buildings with steeples and intricate carvings, paintings, or statues. Lots of nice shops, too. The czech money is strange- a slice of pizza and a coke were 60 korowns which is $3.00. We had just figured out Euros and now are switching to korowns. Now, we almost had a repeat of the terrible tonno-tuna pizza incident that happened our first dinner in Munich. We stopped at a pizza stand and there were different pizzas out. Jerry asked for sausage. Alex asked for sausage. I was waited on by a different server and when I pointed to what the others were given and said "sausage" the server said "sausage? Tonno, ok". And of course I said "that is not ok". Luckily this was discovered before anyone had to suffer and we all ended up with cheese. Tomorrow the real exploring begins.
