Leaving Prague was not easy. After everywhere that I went, it had become a second home in nine months. Luckily, I was able to share it with some people.
I made lifetime friends with incredible people. I shot a pretty decent film. I lived alone for nine months without going insane. I went that long without driving and survived.
I learned a lot.
Pisek was a nice little town to live in. Close enough to Prague to make weekend trips affordable and entertaining, but isolated enough to avoid complete urban chaos. I learned a little bit of Czech, and learned a good bit about the real Bohemian life.
I had good classes, bad classes, and absolutely terrifying classes. I learned inside and out of the classroom.
But the highlight of it all was Prague. Walking on the Charles Bridge at night (or better, sunset), after a long day exploring the threshold city, it felt like a dream.
On our last night in Europe, Meredith and I went to dinner with Daniel, Jeremy, and Dale. The food was excellent. Dale and Jeremy took us to their apartment near Karlovo Namesti, and from their balcony we could see an incredible view of the Charles Square tower.
It's hard to explain how much I'm going to miss that place.
