Dobry nacer!
Wow, Prague is so wonderful and I really love it here. Things are super busy, though, but in a good way! I do so much walking (thank goodness on account of all the beer, coffee and desserts that I'm consuming!)
The other day we went on a "drop off," where my program director, whom I apsolutely adore - I've never met someone with so many amazing connections before - sent us on kind of an adventure where we had to figure out how to find and get the cool places she'd listed. I saw the Memorial for the victims of Communism, went in the most AMAZING antique store EVER and bought an old notebook with literally a thousand old matchbook labels from all over the world, walked to the National Ethonography Museum, attempted to see an art gallery that way closed (you went through a hall out onto windy rooftops to get there!), and met the group for dinner at a beautiful restaurant in the basement of an old old gothic church.
The other day I saw the famous clock tower and Old Town Square which is super touristy, but beautiful anyway. We've been finding great cafes every day and started real classes yesterday. I have 3 hours of Czech in the morning with a break to walk down to the first floor of the cafe in our building to get coffee, which is just espresso here. In the afternoon I have an event or a lecture from like 5 different people. Our literature lessons are in a famous cafe in Old Town every monday morning :)
Today I found out about my homestay! I'm living with a woman and her 17 year old daughter in Prague, about a 40 minute train ride from the school (public transportation RULES here!) They seem really cool - the mother runs an NGO for civic participation. There is also a 20 year old daughter who lives in Prague with her boyfriend. I meet them tomorrow night at a little partyand move in on Saturday!
Okay, pictures later, I have to leave the cafe cause it's one here and it's closing!
Na shladenou!

So glad to hear things are off to such a fabulous start.Everything sounds so awesome. I have Maggie and Fiona here for 3 days~! Just finished washing the vasoline out of Fiona's hair that she managed to get into while I helped Maggie in the bathroom~! I have forgotten what it's like to have 3/2 yr olds. We are watching "Aladdin" as I write this and then off to the indoor play area over in Acton. Look forward to the pictures... Terri
