OBAMA FO YO MOMMA!

U.S. President Barack Obama graced Prague with his presence for his first and only public speech on his European tour. Speech started at 10am, but we (at czech inn) decided to make it an adventure...wake up at 3:30 am, brew some coffee and lay out a spread o' brekkie goodies, and then hit the tram at 4:30am. 6 hours and many exciting adventures later, we saw the man speak. Take a peek to see what he said and to follow our morning trail. What a day. Thanks to the 25+ totally rad guests who woke up far too early to share the experience with us. Rock star, I tell ya!

OBAMA-RAMA in PRAHA!

The whole Czech Inn gang arrived bright and early...4:30 am! Didn't make the BBC news cut, but was interviewed by a German radio broadcaster.

Obama addressed the crowd: "I know that many times in the 20th century, decisions were made without you at the table, great powers let you down, or determined your destiny without your voice being heard. I am hear to say that the United States will never turn it's back on the people of this nation. We are bound by shared values, shared history, and the enduring process of our alliance..."

Czech it out (at about 8:28 minutes, you'll see some Italians holding up an "Obama, sorry 4 Berlusconi" sign - we were right next to them. ha.):
