Petrin Tower and Mirror Maze
Just a short funicular ride away from the river is Petrin Hill, where I decided to hang out with Stephanie and Michele for our last free night in Prague.  We started with pictures from the tower, then made our way to the Mirror Maze for some silliness. The sky was a bit cloudy and the sunset was subdued, which is fitting given our mixed feelings about having to leave. There should be rain and clouds for our goodbye cruise as well, so it seems the city has indeed caught our vibe.
While I am incredibly eager to be going home tomorrow, I also know that this experience has changed my life. I’m going to miss the late night talks with friends just down the hall, always having company for breakfast, the crazy personalities that make up our group…perhaps there will be another Fulbright in my future? I’ll have to wait three years before applying again, but to all my colleagues reading this–the elementary applications are due in October and there are three great destinations to choose from, so stop making excuses and apply!
