Free Food and Voting Week

The day started off with me getting a drink for 1czk with the Tastetown app.  When I was going back home I saw that there was something going on in front of Novy Smichov.  It was lunch time and a company was giving away free food to get their name out.  Later in the afternoon, I went to meet with a friend and two teenagers  came up to us asking if we would vote for their principal who is running for Senate.  They told me how the students are mainly running the campaign and I was super impressed with them.  The next day, the food stand was again at Novy Smichov so I told Leos to come meet me for lunch.  I couldn't believe they even gave us several frozen food items to take home.  Luckily we had space in our freezer.  Then we went to Klamovka and a politican was giving bags and balloons away.  The next day I went to a playground with Amaya and on the way there I got free ice cream from another politician.  The free stuff this week was crazy.

Prague Castle with Amaya

It had been a while since we walked to the castle, so we thought it was about time we went again.  The weather was nice and there weren't that many people there.  Amaya enjoyed walking around and didn't really want to be in the stroller. We managed to go to Wallenstein garden for a few minutes before they closed.  It was a nice walk. 

Vienna

We stayed two nights in Vienna.  The day we arrived, we arrived in the afternoon because we needed to pick my parents up from the bus terminal.  The bus terminal in Vienna is shockingly bad.  I thought it would be much better, but I was very surprised at how poor it was.  After we got my parents, we were able to check into the hotel.  We really didn't do much on the day we arrived.  The next day was really busy.  First, we enjoyed breakfast at the hotel.  The egg section for the buffet was quite impressive.  I was surprised to see eggs benedict being offered.  I was quite happy with that.  After our huge breakfast we took the metro to Schonbrunn to walk through the Rustenalle.  The park was so nice to walk through.  We went to the Neptune fountain and a nice view point of the park.  Then we made our way back to the hotel.  However, since the weather was quite nice, Leos, Amaya and I went to a nearby park.  After a bit of sun we went back to the hotel.  Leos was tired so he stayed in.  I was hungry and wanted to grab a bratwurst so I took Amaya with me.  I thought it would be a shame to just go back to the hotel, so I decided to wander around a bit.  I am so happy that I did because I ended up in the main square.  I couldn't believe it. I finally recognized that I was in Vienna a few years ago.  It was nice to explore a bit with Amaya.  We even made it for Sunday mass in St. Stephen's cathedral.  We only stayed for a few minutes because I needed to get Amaya back for bed. It was a wonderful day!
