BEER! (pilsen)

We went to churches and stuff in Pilsen (which is a super neat city) but we spent like twice as much time learning about beer than we did learning about churches and historical stuff. Pilsen is really really really really proud of their beer (as they should be, to be fair) which is super delicious, especially straight from the brewery. But I mean man, they talked about it like it was this magical life healing substance that will make your taste buds fly to the heavens. It was good but like, not life-changing, like, I didn’t even hear any bells or the symphonies of the gods or feel myself transported into a meta-dimension or anything, so. But don’t tell them I said that though or I might be deported.

Also the “samples” they gave out were pretty much just like a full glasses of beer and it was amazing.

Apparently one of the largest synagogues in the world. Important and sad and I’m so glad I get the opportunity to visit places like these.

View from the tallest building in the world. Well, no, but we had to climb up to the top and it’s still really, really high especially when you’re climbing terrifying, rickety stairs. The view from the top was fantastic, though, even if the climb almost killed me.

I also learned that apparently there was some thing where the old synagogue’s original blueprint was adjusted because it wasn’t allowed to be as tall as the Catholic church? Like???
