Last night, I rang in 27 at midnight, with a whole bunch of people singing “happy birthday” to me in about four different languages.
(I heard Spanish, English, Korean and Czech!).
That seems like a pretty good omen for this new year, don’t you think??
This week in Prague, although we’ve been busy, we’ve managed to explore a little more of this new, fun city (and hit up some favorites!).
I loved…
Walking along “our” bridge (as in the bridge we walk across to and from our training program) in the rain:
There is something about Prague in the rain. The buildings, already colorful, seem more saturated, and the cobblestones get all shiny and pretty (and slippery!).
Trying out new food!
Jan’s continues to be a favorite (twice this week–just look at that blueberry fruit tart!) and in an effort to save money, we’ve been eating in more. We found these really cheap mini pizzas and I expected dinner that night to be a dud but THEY WERE AMAZING. How is even the frozen pizza delicious??
Prague at night.

This week, now that jet lag is mostly a thing of the past, we’ve been out on the town at night more. Prague is amazing at night!
And even though I told you I was dreading it…my birthday has most definitely been a highlight.
I really can’t hate a day that celebrates me for long (even if it does mean I’m getting old). E and I are only exchanging trips as gifts now (of course) but he gave me a few items to symbolize the trips we will (hopefully) take this year! Who could hate that??
Tell me about your week!
Linking up with Lauren!
Love the pics sis and happy bday (again) 🙂 Also that blueberry tart…Yummm
Thanks lil sis! LOVE you mucho! Now get your butt over here and we’ll get that tart 😉
Trip-giving for presents is the best way to go! Happy belated birthday! I hit 27 last Saturday and tried not to be too glum about it myself. But age is what you make of it and how you act! 🙂
Thanks! It’s definitely the best, especially here in Europe 🙂 I’m sorry you struggled with 27 too (what IS it about this age??) but you’re so right…we can’t let it get us down!
Happy birthday, welcome to 27!!! I think it’s a great omen to hear multiple languages on your bday x
I agree! And thank you…I’m getting a little more okay with it…and also just pretending I’m not actually that age haha 😉 thanks for being here! xo
Happy Birthday!! Those mini pizzas have made me miss chicago town pizza. Why can’t Canada have my fave chicago town mini pizzas?! I somehow imagine Prague as being rainy and more beautiful because of the water.
It is more beautiful because of the water! It’s so pretty 🙂 they’re surprisingly good pizza…but definitely not as good as Chicago deep dish!
Happy Birthday my friend! It sounds like a great way to start a new year that will be full of adventures!
Thank you old friend! Love you!
Yay! I see Italy and Germany represented in those gifts….right? I am so interested in Prague, I can’t wait to see more!!!! Happy belated birthday!
Yes! Good eye ;). Also a few areas in the Czech Republic (Moravia, Pilsen and Karlovy Vary) as well as France and Switzerland! We have BIG plans for this year. Our training is really busy so we haven’t done too much in Prague but I will keep up the blog as we do more! Thanks so much for stopping by and for the birthday wishes 🙂 xo
Blueberry tarts – yum! Hope you had a fabulous birthday!
Yes aren’t they great?? And thank you so much 🙂 xo
Happy belated birthday! Was Prague as much of a fairy-tale city as other pictures have led me to believe? x
Well I don’t want to talk it up too much…but it kind of is 😉 thanks so much for the birthday wishes! xoxo
Looks like you are having an amazing time in your new home of Prague! And a huge Happy Birthday to you!!!
Thank you so much for the birthday wishes and for reading!! xoxo
Happy Birthday! Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Gratulerer med dagen! 🙂
Haha yes now I can add two more languages (right?) to my list. I’m a lucky girl 🙂 and THANK YOU! xoxo
