Day 31-Thai massage and beer with seniors

Today we woke up to our first morning in Prague and caught the metro, which is very easy to figure out here, down to old town. We noticed some festivities near the river and decided to join in, and discovered that it was some kind of Senior festival. There were 80 year olds drinking beer at 11am and we figured, if they can do it, so can we, so we had beer and cornish game hens around noon/1 for about 100kc, or crown. We headed into old town square, where we sat and wrote/painted for awhile and then stumbled upon a Thai massage parlor and figured, what the heck. We are exactly halfway through our trip at this point and our packs are heavy, so we looked at the prices and ended up getting AMAZING half hour massages for about 15 dollars each. not bad at all. They kicked our butts, though and we walked out of there feeling lighter and rejuvinated for the next 30 days. We left old town sq to meet my cousin, James, who is an English teacher here and has been for a year. He took us across the famous Charles Bridge and then we had dinner and beers, and now we are taking a pit stop in the evening before continuing our evening.
Prague is a beautiful 1000 year old city and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in visiting.
More later ...i cant find the exclaimation point..

Just wanted to say hello. It's funny, I can map your progress through Europe by looking at where hits to my site are coming from. Off to Sri Lanka in an hour or two, then back to Delhi and Mumbai, then HOME. Thank Vishnu...
