A Photographic Catch-Up

Made it to Copenhagen a couple weekends ago. It was great. I was able to see my friend Michelle, who I hadn't seen in a couple years. The weather was pretty scewy, though - switching from blizzard-like conditions to blue sky sun in a matter of about 10 minutes. I liked the city - it was small, and the building facades were very colorful - far more than what I've seen in Prague. The architecture reminded me of Amsterdam, though - pretty square windows and flat building fronts.


My social circle in Prague is beginning to dwindle. Tim leaves today. Reed on Monday. We went out Wednesday night with Tim to send him off right.


And... oh goody! More snow!!! (and a "screw you" to all my friends in DC, reveling in 70 degree weather) Heather made a good suggestion that we go to the top of one of the Charles Bridge towers to get some nice pictures.


My sister Kate arrives in Prague in a little more than an hour for a week. Should be a great time, but chances are there won't be any more updates until after she leaves. Until then, I leave you with this gem from my class this morning. I did a lesson on superstitions and luck in honor of Saint Patrick's Day. We covered all sorts of superstitions and things which are lucky and unlucky, and ended up with leprechauns and their pots of gold. A student asked, "So, how do you get lucky with a leprechaun?" I responded quickly (too quick to be understood by said student), "From what I've heard, alcohol usually helps." "Whats that?" "I said that you have to catch him first."
