About Me

Most people call me Flagg. I'm from a small town south of St. Louis and just graduated from the University of Missouri. Photojournalist by trade, I use this blog to visualize my life and surroundings. Aside from photo, my great loves are my family, food, the St. Louis Cardinals and Queen. I'm open to go anywhere in the world and experience everything.

Praha...ha

Most Beautiful City in Europe: Prague. Without a doubt, Prague had the most dazzling effect on me. When Lainey and I arrived, we hiked to the top of the Petrin Tower (like Prague's Eiffel Tower) and watched the sunset over the city.

Old Charles Bridge
The architecture more than made up for the disgusting food such as pig knuckle and fried cheese.

Lainey's friend Ariel met up with us that night and Prague's beauty did not leave with the sun.
So, we knew that some building in Prague was the inspiration for the Disney Castle- not to be confused with the one from Germany- that's Sleeping Beauty's castle. All of the buildings were so gorgeous that we kept walking around saying, "Look! It's Disney!"

We spend the next day sight-seeing the castle, gardens, Jewish Cemetery, etc.Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral

Inside St. Vitus

Locks!! Just like in Rome and FlorenceI did not know that John Lennon had connections to Prague. In the Mala Strana section of the city, a graffiti-filled wall was dedicated to John and the Beatles.

The Rudolfinium- they love their classical music
That night we went to the self-proclaimed largest club in mid-Europe with some people from our hostel and had probably one of the most fun nights since being abroad. Our last activity in Prague took us to the beer gardens. We need these in America. This is the view from the gardens.
