Česká Třebová, etc.

Last weekend Hannah and I went to visit her relatives in a little town called Česká Třebová. Her great-grandpa's cousin Stonya, and her husband Latislav, have a small cottage in Přivrat, which is just a little bit outside of Česká Třebová. They live in Prague for most of the year, where Latislav works as a PhD professor at Charles University. All of my professors and other people keep telling me that people live in Prague, and then have cottages in the countryside, but I didn't know how common it was until I took this weekend trip. I am so glad I did!

Here is sort of where it is located, but I might be a little off. That's the general area, anyways.


I had a really nice time there. Being in a real house, with real food and a real garden, was really nice after living in a flat in the city for 4 months. It also made me miss my grandparents, and the rest of my family. I am looking forward to seeing them in 2 weeks (whoa!).

We basically drove around all day and visited relatives. We joked around a lot, and both Latislav and Stonya speak English (although Stonya will tell you that she doesn't). They were really nice to us, and I am really glad that Hannah asked me to go with her.

I tell a more complete story on my picture website, so check it out.

There are also more pictures on the picture site under "Každy den v Praze" (Which means every day in Prague). They are basically pictures I've been taking randomly but haven't put up yet. I am so on top of this picture thing that I get made fun of (gently) by my friends. Consider yourselves lucky.

This week I am studying for two exams, and finishing one paper. Then on Sunday MAXWELL BOOTH comes to visit me for 4 days, and I am pretty excited. Then we have a farewell dinner on Friday the 25th, a boat cruise down the Vltava River, and then I sort of tie up some loose ends, buy some souvenirs (any requests?) and head back to Ann Arbor on the 30th. I can't believe that my time here is almost up. I have mixed feelings, but mostly I am excited.

Lots of love to everyone!
