Peace-ful day exploring the city

My dad has become quite the model after this week, watch out Vogue! (Pictured in front of Lennon Wall!)

We started out our day of adventures by going to my favorite breakfast spot, Cafe Louvre! Dad was excited to eat in the same restaurant Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka used to frequent

I got my signature waffles with strawberries and choco-coffee, while my dad opted for the more traditional Czech meat and cheese platter, with a cafe Americano! Love the architecture of this place, which has been open since 1902!

We then took a nice morning walk around Prague, and crossed the Charles bridge! Him and my mom need to put up a love lock when they come back and visit together one day!

We walked alongside the river, until we came to The Dancing House, something my dad hadn't seen the last time he came to Prague!

So candid!

As you saw from the thumbnail picture, we stopped by the Lennon wall on our way back to my choir class!

My dad sat in on our choir rehearsal, and was one of the first people to hear our music over here! We actually were able to sing a few songs in the Malta church, right next to our school!

The original building was founded in the 13th century, and was burned down twice. First during the Hussite riots in 1420, and then again in 1503, the Baroque renovation of the church was carried out in the 17th century. This church was actually the worship space of the Malta Order in the Czech Republic, the knights that used to protect these lands! The Order of Malta in Prague was founded in 1183, and functioned up until Communism. The knights resumed after the Velvet Revolution, and do many acts of charity and service in the community!

The crests of the knights of Malta on the wall!

He chose a good day to come to class, because our teacher brought in a tour guide to give us a tour of our practice vicinity! We are practicing in the same building that the movie "Amadeus" was filmed in! The movie is a fictionalized biography of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and it is incredible to get to sing in the same area every day!

These paintings were hidden in the Malta church during Communism, so they wouldn't be destroyed!

After class, we walked around the area and took some pictures of beautiful architecture on Prague buildings!

I told my dad the rule of "looking up" here, and we have seen so many amazing things because of it!

We ended the night going to one of our favorite music spots, Jazz Republic in Prague! One of our friends was actually going on a date with a Czech boy she met, and our teacher requires friends to go on the first few dates for safety reasons! (Don't worry we sat at a different table!)

The jazz bar is actually right next to my dad's hotel, so he came and hung out with my roommates and I! We had a tapas platter, my dad got a beer, and we listened to a great Jazz band!

The guy playing the saxophone was incredible! This is one of our favorite venues, because there is no cover charge, and it is all locals!

All good days should start with waffles, and end with Jazz music. End of story.
