... for me...it was all so nice.

The IE IMBA program has series of events which all occur to officially kick off the program. Last week Will began his orientation. The week was packed with meetings, seminars, photos, introductions and logistics. I know it was often busy and hectic but I think he's really enjoying officially beginning the program.

In addition to the school stuff this week was 'The Week of Francesco ...

... fixture. Scared all of us and then we all laughed at it and pretended we knew nothing. When I say us, I mean my group and the Spanish group. My friends daughter had ice cream all over her face, clothes and in her hair. That was quite a site. At one point the Guide mentioned that there were sharks in the water. The 3rd old didn't like hearing that. She did not want to be near the window anymore. There was a sign in the ...

... through the Neustadt and Altstadt and into the courtyard of the Zwinger, which was very impressive, then back to the train station via the Jack Wolfskin shop, which we had to look at since every second German is wearing something with Jack Wolfskin emblazoned on it, and a toy shop where we tried in vain, again, to find something with the Tiger Duck on it (Penny) and a soft frisbee (Darren). It seems we may have been victims of the changing fashions in children's toys, and maybe ...

Yes, we are sad to report that Vinnie is feeling under the weather. However, between the beauty of Prague, enticing pints of $1.50 Czech beer at every turn, and Serena's nursing skills we intend to have him in tip top shape in time to participate in the 'wild & crazy' night ...

... see me very soon and heads down to the lower lounge, her domain if you will. A couple of minutes and I am on my way down. I arrive and as I had guessed she was waiting for me on the couch. I stop at the bar to get an orange juice and then join her. There is very little talk, Its been a long time, I have wanted this women, and taking the imitative I lean over and kiss her. This only lasts for a couple of minutes. Katja, as it is her ...

I arrived back here in Prague around 3PM, just a couple hours ago. I decided to take the day train from Krakow instead of the usual night train that I had been using in the past. Some things to keep in mind on the Krakow- Prague trains. The ride during the day is about 2 hours shorter and about $20 more expensive. Also remember that on the night train you do save one nights accommodation by sleeping on the train. Something that I personally found ...

... wealth.....but they still speak too LOUDLY!) - Hotels are inevitably expenive, especially since the tourist season has just arrived. - However, alcohol and food are fairly cheap....2 Euros for a large beer....probably one of the cheapest cities you can get completely sloshed in Europe! And you can satisfy your hunger with a lovely meal for about 5 Euros (point of comparison: a pizza in Berlin was about 10 Euros). - Wear comfy shoes! Most of the pavements are made of stone and are ...

... cemetery I have ever been in. After that I went to a sushi dinner in Old Town (yes, sushi) with Meghan and Kristen. On Thursday I went to a fantastic rock/reggae/punk club, drank way too much, made another late night McDonalds run, and was followed home by a very hopeful 17 year old. Poor kid, he really thought he was going to come home with us, and I don't have a litter box or a leash or anything here. I wasn't planning on going out that night, but I realized that I was ...

... i started thinking about a writing project...im starting to work on that again..the problem is i cant concentrate in my apartment so i have to go sit in the quiet in the royal gardens to write...where i get some nice sunburn. We are going to the little beach/grass/sunbathing/beer/volleyball area on the river bank near Vysherad on saturday...get some nice rest. I think everybody wants a quiet weekend. My dad is coming over to visit at the end of the month so i have to ...

... up, drink some hot chocolate and relax. We decided to go to the John Lennon wall- a wall that was a protest to communism in graffiti- it was painted over everyday until 1989 when communism fell in the east. We decided to go to a Mari Antoinette puppet show of Don Giovanni. It was very amusing to me and something fun to see. After the show, we went to Wenceslas Square to find something to eat- we went to a little pizzeria and split a pizza. We ...
