time in ten years that I have not watched the Superbowl. I could not
justify watching a game that started at 1:00 AM our time. If the
Panthers had been playing, I def would have watched, but since I
didn't much care about either team, it wasn't too bad.
The next morning, I lazily got up and sauntered down to breakfast
only to find out from Art that I had class in 45 minutes. It takes a
half an hour to get there, so I inhaled my toast and ran upstairs to
get dressed. Getting dressed in time was no mean feat: I had to put
on two pairs of thermal pants, a thermal shirt, jeans, a shirt, a
sweater, two pairs of socks, my coat, scarf, gloves, and hat. It is
quite the process.
We ran the 5 blocks to the Metro, hop on the train, and run the 3
blocks to the Institute only to find out that class was canceled. Oh
well. I spent a good bit of the day online at the Institute, catching
up with my correspondence. I went to lunch with a group to a
cafeteria a few blocks away... it is kind of like the K&W, minus the
'like an egg, sir?' lady.
After hanging out at the penzion, we went to dinner at an Italian
restaurant. We have learned that the Italian restaurants give you
enough food for two meals, so it is a two-fer deal. Excellent.
I had my Czech class this morning and it went really well. While
Czech is very different from any language that I have studied, the
symbols are the same as the International Phonetic Alphabet, the
system I use to learn new voice pieces. I can sound out anything I
read, even though I don't understand a word. I'm working on it!
For lunch, we went with Art to Bohemia Bagel, an American style
bagel shop. It is the one place in Prague with American breakfast. I
recommend the pancakes. Delicious! There is a special called the King
Charles plate: two 10 inch pancakes, two fried eggs, two pieces of
sausage, two pieces of bacon and a bagel. Ned would enjoy the
mountain of food, although it might stretch even his limits!
I think I am going to go exploring this afternoon around Old Town
Square. There are some lovely galleries to poke through and lots of
crystal shops to wander around. I'll let y'all know if I see
something good!
