We spent a week in the Czech Republic, and had so much fun. It's amazing how often you can use the word "czech" in your everyday sentences! We stayed with our hasher friend, Geri, who works for the Austrian Embassy. She set us up with all the tourist comforts we could ask for, even a phone card! The astronomical clock in the square was anticlimactic, but the view of the tourists staring up at it from the top of the clock tower was very entertaining! We "czeched" out the castle and the cathedral, rented a paddle boat on the river, and visited Petrin Park with a fellow hasher/tourist, Dario from Italy, and Zhenya, Alison's friend from St. Petersburg, Russia. We went to a hash weekend in Kutna Hora with Geri (feel free to "czech" out the write up on the hash link atwww.crazyhappenings.com) and had an absolute phenomenal time. We made so many great new friends who are now like family to me that leaving was almost a tearful event. It's utterly amazing how many wonderful, generous people there are in the world. I feel I am the luckiest woman alive to be a part of their lives. Right now we are in Bratislava, Slovakia for a day or two, before flying to Athens, Greece. We were going to train it down, but realized the route take us through Yugoslavia, where a visa is required. I'm sure my family is most relieved I won't be traveling through Kosovo!
Love to you all!
