Bier and Art

I'm on the phone with my Mom! It's always great to hear her voice. Okay, now I'm on the phone with Grandma. Things are good at home, and that puts my mind at east. I'm paranoid that I'll miss some event at home while I'm away, and I know I can't just jump in the car and go to my family if it needs me, which bothers me a bit. Things will be fine, and I know it. I

Things are really good here. I know that my parents get worried when they hear the tiredness in my voice, but I know its a good tired-- I've been so busy and having SO much fun that by the time I talk to my parents, I'm just worn out. Today we went to the National Art Gallery here. One of my favorite artists, a glass blower named Chihuly, has an exhibit here. It was really cool to get to see. This morning we went to a beer brewery. It was really really cool to see how they make beer and then to get to "sample" the finished product (I had three glasses!).

It was a nice change of pace from yesterday's lectures and Jewish Quarter wandering. I really wish I would have gotten to see the Old Jewish Cemetery up close, but I wasn't willing to pay 200 Kc to do it. Blah.

I had dinner at my favorite Prague restaurant tonight, so I'm full and happy. I had spaghetti with chicken and mozzarella which makes me smile. I also had a whiskey and coke, which was a nice change of pace from all of the beer from earlier in the day.

Tonight we're supposed to go to a club called Anubis. I'm hoping that it will be a good time and that we can go out with a big bang before everyone else leaves to come home on Thursday and Angela and I move on to Munich.

We WILL buy our train tickets tomorrow. Michael said we can get student passes which will be cheaper. That will put my mind at ease about traveling. I'm really looking forward to Munich and Vienna.

I'm going to go watch The Hills online. Its time to catch up on my guilty American pleasure. Ahoj!
