Week 7

And I am in Prague! It is a beautiful city that wasn't initially on my list of stops, but that's what's exciting about adventures, you don't know where they'll lead you! I'm staying with Matt and Sara Parrot. Sara is working on her semester abroad and Matt's playing basketball. But really, they're both helping out with a missionary orginization here and are busy with language partners as well.

I rode to Prague on Monday with two guys I had met at the hostel in Nuremberg. It was a pretty fun road-trip and I even got a little story out of it. So, an american, a german and an australian get pulled over on the road to Prague...
Not really a joke, this happened. Everything was fine, but the australian in our little group made the observation that the situation really did sound like a joke. In that spirit, please respond with better endings to the joke than the one I gave (aka the lame one).

On a different note, I will be heading to Dresden on Saturday and then from there to Leipzig and then on to Berlin! Its been quite fun so far and I'm looking forward to seeing northern Germany's cities and history.

One quick story about Nuremberg: I ended up translating the card game "Bang!" into english so that a big group of Americans, Aussies, Koreans and Canadians could play. It was quite the night! The Americans devised a set of rules to convert it into a drinking game, so that was quite interesting (even though they didn't get to try it out).

In my spare time (which is coming in droves) I've been writing a lot of different things, both fiction, prose, poetry and in my journal. I haven't felt so creative in a very long time. Many things spark my interest and it has been fun trying to learn a bit of Czek.

I had better go and spend my last few days here frutifully, hope that you all are doing well, I'm praying for you guys!
