another day, another thing to see

yesterday was quality.

after our usual morning math lecture and lunch, prof. nesetril, one of the czech professors here and the main sponsor for the REU time in prague, took us to the Czech National Gallery. Besides being a mathematician, he's very much into art and creates his own, so he enjoys an annual trip of playing tour guide to the REU students at the gallery. We saw the "french collection" of monets, picassos, and the like, but also the major Czech art from 1890 on to the present. it was a very quality 2 hours.

after that, melissa wanted me to take her back to the bookstore i found the other day, so that's where we went... after that i grabbed dinner to take back to the dorm with me and fell asleep reading a good book... no complaints there!

tomorrow we will visit Koneprusy Caves for the day (which unfortunately means no church for me, but the next TWO weeks i'll be back at international church of buadpest which i absolutely CAN'T WAIT for!)... the caves should be cool. :)

this afternoon, i'm hanging out with melissa and later meeting up with sarah... we're going to the prague exhibition grounds... all the original statues from charles bridge, wenceslas square, etc. go here to retire when they're replaced with new ones... there's a carnival ground... a planetarium... and best of all, a fountain with several shows set to music at night... should be lots of fun.

4 days to go in prague, and then on to budapest... yay for eastern europe? :)
