So where to begin? The opera was great and we actually had seats at this one (as opposed to standing room), which was a definite improvement over the concerts that we saw in Vienna. Our music professor prepared us extremely well for the opera, and even the people who had never been to one before said that they could really follow it and very much enjoyed themselves. After the opera we went out to dinner (traditional Czech cuisine...very meat and dumplings-y) and then headed back to the hotel.
This morning we left the hotel by eight thirty, and by seven o'clock tonight we had been in three different countries! We're in Strasbourg right now, and I really really love it here. It has the same kind of feel as Salzburg--a really small but beautiful city with genuinely wonderful people. After getting to the hotel tonight we went out to dinner (which was delicious--I'm definitely one with French food) and wandered around the city for a bit. After that, six of us took a bottle of wine down to the river and sat out together talking and laughing and reminiscing about the last four weeks. It was great.
Time for bed now, though! Hopefully I'll get to update once we get to Belgium, our last stop before hopping the channel.

PS: A link to the Prague photos soon (most of them are already up), but right now the internet is just working very poorly. Harumph.
