Europe Trip 2014: June 11th: Prague Day Four

June 11th

Today was our last day in Europe! :(

We started off the morning by heading to our last business meeting. We actually met with a financial advisor at the International Study Programs (ISP) office! He was a man that helps finance for lower income countries and helps people invest in these areas where people need help. It was super interesting because Vish has invested money in a lower income area and has helped make a difference! While at the ISP office we also got to see how they do business and make trips like ours possible :) There were many awesome people in this office that we met and had the privilege of talking to and learning about how they do their job and make such AWESOME trips possible!

After our last business meeting, about half of the group decided to go see the Prague Castle. It was absolutely breathtaking and we did not have enough time to see it all (it is HUGE). But we were happy that we went and saw it, it also had a beautiful view over Prague that we took some pictures at. It was very hot and we were all still in our business clothes. I had decided to wear dress pants today (not my best choice) and I had rolled them up to look like very stylish shorts ;)

We headed back down to our hotel after spending 2 hours up at the castle, we had time to change, and then we boarded the bus to head to Kozel Brewery.

Kozel Brewery is part of Czech's most famous beer Pilsner. We learned how the beer is made and produced and how it sold around the country and Europe. It was very interesting to see how beer is made and we even got to see the breweries mascot, a goat! After the brewery we headed back to the hotel to rest and change before our last group dinner!

After a couple hours we boarded the bus again to head to our last dinner. It was a folklore show with awesome Czech food, beverages, and a dance show! We all ate to much food, danced the night away, and really enjoyed our last night together. After dinner we rode the bus back to the hotel and the whole way home we sang songs, I even started crying because I was so sad that today was our last day! I truly have grown to love not only Europe but the awesome people in this group!

After we got back to the hotel we decided to go out for a bit. A taxi was picking us up at 4:30 am to take us to the Prague airport to fly home! We all went out and danced and had an awesome time. Molly and I went back to the hotel at about 3 am and got all of our stuff packed up and ready to go. It was interesting trying to pack all of our things back up, added with all the new things we had purchased while in Europe. I actually had to buy another carry on, whoops ;)

Vish met us down in the lobby at 4:30 to wish us farewell and then we were off to the airport to make our trek home!

Justin got all of us girls flowers for our last day in Europe. He has been a great sport being the only boy with 11 girls! He has grown to be like our brother!
