Ah, Sunday. I've had five hours or less of sleeptime in the past four days. Loves the Praha. I'm eating cherries; they are helping me stop shake from sleep deprivation. What's better is that in Prague, no one understands the concept of coffee. Coffee ain't no big thang here. I almost typed coffee as "coffie" because I'm a genuis.

Friday we went to a beer garden overlooking the entire city. It was absolutely stunningly beautiful. I met Eduardo, a Colombian from Arizona who's finishing up grad school. He's one of the genuinely interesting and interested types. I also drank quite a bit (sorry mom! It's a beer garden, after all). We then proceeded to a club whose name I cannot remember. It was insane, and I managed to stay for two point five hours with just one beer. I win!

Saturday I woke up at nine and headed to Kostnice Ossuary, which is known as "the Bone Church" because it is full of piles of piles of human bones, strings of skulls, words nailed to the wall in bone. It was, literally, breathtaking. It was also an hour long train ride away, on the good old fashioned trains with compartments and rickety rails. I felt like I was on the Darjeeling Unlimited and I fell in love with the feeling. Europe, I love you so much more than I thought I would! It was fantastic to see a new part of the Czech Republic, because the countryside is drastically different than Praha. I bought Rachel & Caitlin gifts. Rachel's broke before I left the city. Caitlin's is small enough to be nearly unbreakable. (Rachel, I'm going to repair it and give it to you anyway, and you will love it anyway. Promise.)

Rich, our Australian photographer friend, and Tyler from WMU tromped along with me for the day. There were ten of us total, but the experience was much better when we separated. We took tons of photos. My battery died halfway through, and Rich let me borrow one of his. I stepped in a plant called.. mettle? mettles? bettle? Something like that, and it ATTACKED my bare legs. They swelled a bit, some were scratched, but I was fully entertained by the experience.

Today I woke up at eight, on accident, and went for a long walk by myself. I found some impressive graffiti (www.flickr.com/photos/ca_roline), an abandoned stadium, a decent band singing songs in English in an abandoned building, and a huge dry fountain. I stopped to take photos, write, and do some homework. I also stumbled upon a fantastic view of the other side of Prague, without all the huge buildings. I was so surprised to find it I just looked for a solid five minutes. I then proceeded to record a bee eating a smaller insect. Perhaps it wasn't a bee, because I thought bees like pollen more than insects? Carnivorous. 

In all, it has been a glorious weekend, and week, here. I am already terrified to come back to the states. Leave me be! Give me money and let me stay here forever!
