Rain delay



Today I woke to pouring rain. So I decided to stay in bed watch Czech movies and do laundry. I think it was a wise decision as I would have been soaked and cold had I gone. 

Also, after weighing warnings from Radka that Czech conferences are often small and shitty, the 6 hour train ride, the language barrier that I am facing out side of Prague, and the time I would like to spend in Prague, I have decided to skip Brno, and go to Prague for a couple of days instead. (I was planning just the day trip, but I think that won't be enough time)

Had dinner with Radka's folks again, I wish that I could understand Czech, because Radka's father is quite the story teller, and although everything is translated for me, I think that some of his deadpan, comedic timing gets lost in translation. Plus I would love to tell Radka's mom how delicious all of her cooking is. This is Radka and her father in her parent's outdoor kitchenette, where we had potato and wild mushroom soup and stinky cheese and potatoes for supper. yum.

ahhh... I see 'ultimate skipping season' is alive and well on that side of the pond, too! 8-)
Well, there has been tons of rain over here (although this week is sunny throughout, finally).
Sounds like so much fun and so relaxing. Enjoy, enjoy! We're having fun, too - we are having Czech-dude-day tomorrow and we are all dressing up with mullets and crazy jeans. The weird thing is - I have been told that all the women are hot, but they all have goofy-fashion guys on their arms... what up?

BTW - PM on facebook for you.
