it's raining, it's pouring...

indeed.

it's been an interesting day. lecture, dvorak museum, loreto (a famous shrine to the virgin mary near the dorm), and now internet... with the added bonus that just about any street newsstand sells tons of tons of good czech beer as well, so i'm enjoying a $1 can of pilsner urquell as i write... the czechs really have something here. :)

weekend should be entertaining. me, 3 of my students (the quieter half that like more similar things to me), and one of my favorite czechs are taking a two day trip tomorrow and sunday to Hluboká nad Vltavou, České Budějovice (home of the original budweiser beer... the american brand was originally an imitation of czech budweiser before they got more creative), and Třeboň. tomorrow consists of meandering through the towns, sunday of a several hour hike (hopefully not in pouring rain like last weekend). it'll be nice to get out of the city. prague is home to some amazing things, but i get bloody tired of large groups of tourists everywhere i look. this trip will be a fantastic 2 day break from them. :P

prague is really nice, and i enjoy it, but i get tired of it after a few consecutive weeks. budapest i can never get enough of... just 5 more days until i'm *there*. :)

happy weekend to all y'all!
