so vikend?

It was a long and tiring weekend - we went out at night, saw the debate live at 3am, and we went to Karlstein castle to a wine festival/renaissance fair the next day.... we saw Leonard Cohen that night... we walked, we danced, we adventured.



Highlights summary:
- going dancing Friday night (and enjoying it), and then at 3 am going to an English bookstore/bar to watch the Presidential debate
- music at the festival (including some Abba karaoke) - we heard them singing a folk song we learned in Czech class! Holka Modrooka.....
- going to the Leonard Cohen concert: 7th row on the floor, chilling in the green room, meeting the backup singers with awesome accents, taking a little tour of the awesome hotel they were staying in.

- meeting Breanne's friend Rosie, who came to visit as she is studying abroad in Salzburg - she was really fun!
- going back to our usual coffee shop haunt - Bohemia Bagel - last night, and finding my way without my glasses (but I cleaned my room today, so I found them for class).
- today in Media & Democracy our guest speaker was the Czech equivalent of the NPR Congress reporter... she talked about the nature of reporting for radio, and how hard it is to get the Czech Prime Minister to talk to you :)

So long, farewell, until we meet again...
