there was sun today!

The internet in my apartment is somewhat inconsistent; I’m stealing a stranger’s wireless right now and wondering what the punishment would be for that in a country like that. So if I don’t reply to your e-mails, just assume I have no internet access or have been placed in Czech jail.

But in good news, all of the national galleries were open for free this weekend and I made it to 3. I saw the gallery of old European masters, a gallery of work related to dancing and festivities, and a Picasso exhibit in a huge modern art museum. The modern art museum was my favorite obviously because of all of the weird, funky, shiny, mixed media stuff that I love so much. But I was good and didn’t get in trouble for touching anything. After that gallery I had the BEST meal I have had in Prauge so far at Bohemia Bagel. (Annika, Scott, etc- did you ever eat there? There is also one in old town and one right over the Charles Bridge). Falafal burger= mmmmm.


Tomorrow is my first day of class-ish. We’re all watching a documentary about Jan’s life called “Fighter” made by some Brown students who did this program a few years ago. Then hopefully I’ll have my first language class if Jan doesn’t lecture too long after the film. I’m really excited to be able to say more than “Please may I have the bill” and my favorite, “I don’t’ understand Czech”.

And to further prove that this is a very small, Jewish world, I met Jaime’s sorority sister at breakfast today in my building and she came with us to the galleries. Hi JAIME!
