Hesky Vikend!

That means roughly "nice weekend" in Czech, and I had a nice weekend so I am going to tell you about it. There are, as always, pictures to accompany.

Thursday (which, I am sorry for all you working-types, is the start of my weekend) I went up to the nature preserve thing that I wrote about a few weeks ago. I took the metro a few stops up, and then got off and walked about 15 minutes to a nice shady spot and read my book. Right now I am reading "All The Kings Men" by Robert Penn Warren, because my Dad brought it for me to read when they came to visit. I actually finished it yesterday, and I really liked it. Now I want to see the movie.

On Friday we went to the Beer Gallery again. The guy who owns is and who waits on us is really nice. He knows a lot of English, and he tries to be funny and tell us that our Czech sounds more like Slavic, and we tell him, no, we just are really terrible at speaking Czech. I like him.

Saturday was our program's trip to Cesky Krumlov. It's a smaller town of about 14,000 people, and it is a 2 and a half hour bus ride away from Prague. Not nearly all the people from our program went this time, which was actually really nice because it wasn't hard to keep track of everyone, and we just had a nice time. It was also a beautiful day, which helped.

Tonight we are going out to dinner at Radost (a really great and trendy vegetarian restaurant right by my house) to say goodbye to Holly, on of our program assistants. She is moving back to the States, and we will miss her!

This week I have to write some papers, and I also get to talk to Aaron since he will be back from his outback trip, so I am excited about that. But not about the papers.

Lots of love to everyone!
