Oooooh what a day!
I slept for about 10.5 hours last night, which was amazing since I had gone about 30 hours without sleep. We woke up, went and got breakfast at this great little coffee shop out in the Jewish Quarter of the city, and then did a little exploring! We took a couple of tours through some of the synagogues in the Jewish Quarter, in addition to touring through The Old Jewish Cemetery. The cemetery was really overwhelming, there were tombstones literally piled on top of each other and we also learned that it's one of the oldest jewish cemeteries, if not the oldest, in Europe.

After that, we took the metro down towards Old Town and came across the ultimate shopping location in Prague, with a seven-story shoe store and everything else you could possibly think of. I invested in a pair of boots for 139 kronas, so around $8, which I felt was a wise decision considering the weather conditions.
We ended the night with a concert in the outskirts of Prague. It was definitely an adventure trying to get out there, but we made it!  On our way over there, we actually ran into 5 girls from the US who were trying to get to the same concert, so it was nice to know that we weren't the only ones who were completely lost! And the concert was AMAZING. It was basically one big dance party, and I think I fit in pretty well with my new boots and orange lipstick! Yes, I wore orange lipstick.
Oh, and good news- my lost luggage arrived today! And, I also discovered that my camera is still functioning, so I'll definitely be taking and posting up more pictures now.
Goodnight!!
