Well, I’m headed back to the States tomorrow morning at 8:00 AM, so I’m staying home tonight and relaxing/testing the physical limits of my suitcase.
Yesterday was a lot of fun..we hung our exhibition during class and celebrated the end of our class with some champagne. I thought everyone had great, inspired photos for the exhibition. Photos later from it.
After the exhibition, I had dinner at my favorite pasta place in Malastranska, then headed to the reading at the Ypsilon Theatre. I really enjoyed it – it was my first reading I had been to, and I had a lot of fun. Robin Hemley and Stan read. I highly recommend Robin’s book Do Over..he read from part of it, and it seemed really funny. I haven’t read it yet, but I still recommend it. Robin is a very naturally funny guy. I met him at the dinner with the Pakistani ambassador.
After the reading, a few friends and I took the tram and funicular up to the observatory. It was so awesome! I saw a globular cluster, the ring nebula, Jupiter and it’s four moons, and two twin stars. We were lucky with clear skies and great weather, which also allowed us to walk back to the dorm when we were done.
Well, the next time I post I’ll be back home! I’m really excited to be back, but I know I’m going to miss Prague. I loved losing the status of tourist and becoming an actual inhabitant of the city. I’m sure I’ll be back sometime, but I’ll miss running to meet my 22 tram, the great food and wine, and the friendly people. Until we meet again, Praha…
