Hey everyone,
My name is Jenna Tolloti. Today was our first day of classes at the university. We learned about Czech government, history, and economics. This was all very interesting because we got to learn more about the country we are living in for the next month. We also learned about the differences between the Czech and American brewing industries. During this class period, we had the opportunity to taste test 6 different types of Czech beer. While we had a break in classes, we ate lunch at a restaurant on campus. We had soup as an appetizer and then had rice, chicken, vegetables, and cheese for our main dish. It was very delicious!
Later on in the evening, we had our welcome dinner with the university staff. It was a very cool experience. We had a toast with a Czech drink, listened to the staff give speeches, and introduced ourselves to all the other students here. We had salads, chicken and potatoes, and cake with strawberry jell-o. Again, our meal was very good. It has only been a few days so far in the Czech Republic, but I think I can speak for all of us when I say I love this trip. The city is so beautiful, the people are so friendly, and the food is great. This truly will be the best summer of our lives!
Goodnight from Prague,
Jenna
