Hi everyone! So today was our last Wednesday in Prague, as well as our last day of classes! Our professors discussed their closing thoughts on sustainability, economics, globalization, and rural development and summarized what we have learned over the past four weeks. After class many of us finished our final papers so that we could enjoy the next two free days in Prague.

 This evening one of the Czech students brought us to “one of the best burger places in Prague,” LeBurger, for dinner because many of us were craving a good burger. To many of our surprise, the burgers were really good and definitely comparable to an American burger. After we finished dinner some of us went to Letna Park where we had an incredible view of the city and listened to live music. Then those of us who weren’t tired from the long day stayed out and enjoyed one of our last nights in Prague! 

Hi everyone!

My name is Alaina Misbrener. Today, Monday the 22^nd, we had an excursion to South Bohemia. After about a two-hour bus ride we arrived at the Budweiser Budvar Brewery. When we arrived, we were greeted by a tour guide and shown around the factory. We were able to tour the fermenting, brewing, and packaging branches of the factory, and it was so interesting to see how the process operated. We were even able to sample freshly brewed Budweiser beer! After the tour, we enjoyed a traditional Czech lunch in the restaurant at the headquarters.

After lunch we travelled about an hour south to the medieval town of Cesky Krumlov. We walked the streets of the beautiful city for about 2 hours, enjoyed some ice cream, and we were even able to climb the Cesky Krumlov castle. The view was absolutely beautiful; one of the best views yet! At around 6 o’clock we were able to enjoy a delicious dinner consisting of roasted chicken, French fries, and sauerkraut at Satlava Restaurant. After dinner, we all got back on the bus and slept for the majority of the three-hour trip home.
