So many things have happened! Today is already Tuesday! Or Wednesday! It's late.

This weekend was a trip to Cesky Krumlov, a castle town about three hours south of Prague. We saw an opera (La forza del destino) in the castle gardens. The theatre was a huge revolving circle of chairs, and the entire opera was outdoors. The actors had no microphone system, which was annoying for the first scene but then became so very impressive. I won't lie, I slept through a large portion of the scenes with few people, but the scenes I was awake for were absolutely fantastic.

We spent Sunday walking around Ceske Budejovice and Jindrchuv. There was a nicely priced and better tasting coffee shop that we got espresso and gin & tonic in, and the bus ride home was insane-- Shoshana, Richard and I were very sleep deprived and in desperate need of the bathroom. It was entertaining.

Friday a group of us went to see Don Giovanni as a marionette show near the university. It was insane. The music is beautiful in that show, but I was laughing the vast majority of the time. Everyone came out with smiles because the entire thing was ridiculous.

If I wasn't so sleep deprived I would write something entertaining, or useful, or insightful. But, alas, I am exhausted and in need of a shower. Priorities, who needs 'em?
