, arrived and established here in great form. I arrived six days ago today and fell into a fragrant sea of culture. A basket of roses and a handful of people awaited me in Prague's airport. Sink or swim...I am swimming with much confusion all around, but needless to say life is good. The first night consisted of a short tour of Prague and a dinner cruise on the Vltava, which is the river that runs through the city. My host family and friends are great historical references for the city's very prominent past. As you can see in this photo the skyline is quite beautiful. The second night was nothing short of fantastic as my host brother Pavel and I cruised Vaclavske Namesti (Wenceslas Square) with his friends and cousin Dalibor. Dalibor took us to a great music bar where we danced the night away to some classic Gbos tunes from the 80s. Those Czechs can really grove ;). The third day seemed to be the icing on the cake, for it was none other than a free ticket to a beautiful wedding of a Czech bride and an Irish groom. I was hansomly embraced by the Czechs and Irish people and their remarkable ceremony and celebration in the foothills of Prague. The reception included a well endowed buffet and bar (for the ADults) furnished by the stars and lights of the Czech civilization, which lay gleaming below. School started monday in the beautiful square of Namesti Miru, which means peace square. School is 40 minutes away travelling by foot, then tram, then metro, needless to say I am staying in shape. Life is fast here, like the rude morning that awakes with the lights of the ticker tape and your stock that is all out of sorts plumetting through your stomach like black coffee through freshly pressed Docker pants. Atleast this is my observation =). We began monday with mass in St. Ludmila church. The church appears below and stands with great dignity as it serves as a beautiful view from my classroom window. The students in my class are very supportive of my stay here in Prague, and they have been very helpful with finding the nooks and crannies of this dense city. I have made friends with many good people, and I am daily defining the definition of "going with the flow." English class is great! Czech class is less exciting, but lets be honest, school without grades is simlpy sweet. Thanks Estalyn!
