Hello from the train!

I'm writing this while on the train from Berlin to Prague. Ever since we passed Dresden, we've been in the middle of a narrow river valley between green hills, which sometimes rise into cliffs. There are little towns along the way, with houses by the river and up on the hills. It's like a postcard. We're almost to Prague, and the valley has opened up a bit - much wider and flatter, but still beautiful. I've only heard good things about Prague, so I'm pretty excited. We have a room reserved for tonight, but we'll have to figure out the rest later. If the hostel is nice we'll try to extend our stay there. If it's a party hostel or a bit out of town (like Berlin) we may look elsewhere. The freedom is fun but a bit tiring!
