Praha Oh Praha!

The city has been very warm recently, so it has made for an excellent excuse (or should I say excuses) to go outside and enjoy the beautiful autumn weather. The newly renovated Czech History Museum just re-opened and was free to the public for its first month. The man standing next to me in one of those photos is our friend Mike. He introduced us to the museum once he heard that it opened. The other photos are from a glorious walk that I had around the Vysehrad Church and then a nice lake on the outskirts of the city, beyond the furthest metro stop. It reminded me of the Lakes in Maine around this time of year with about fifty men perched on its banks fishing, but they did not seem to care whether or not they caught anything. They were simply there to enjoy the peace and quiet outside the busy bumbling and rumbling of the city streets. Something happened to me that has never happened to me before and this is merely a bit of comic relief from this very dry writing style that I have acquired over this trip. Any who, I was up late one night watching some Ted Talks online (For those of you who are not familiar with these, they are speeches about ideas currently being studied and researched that are noteworthy of being broadcasted for free online!). I had finally decided to call it a night. Normal procedure...get water...brush teeth...take out contacts...go to sleep. About five minutes after lying down I got very thirsty. I reach over, grab the water, take a sip, and then proceed to fall asleep with the water still in hand. Well I am sure that it did not take long to figure out that I woke up to a very cold puddle of very cold water rushing towards me."oh no, OH NO.. aahhhh" were the words that came out of my mouth as I leapt out of bed, waking Nico in the process and nearly giving her a heart attack because she thought at first I was hemorrhaging or something. Then, when she looked over and saw wet and clear she thought "oh no, he peed the bed" and we both stripped the sheets right away. She proceeded to look at my boxers and question why they werent wet if I wet the bed. I just laughed, and told her what happened. We cracked up at what had just happened. Smooth Move!!!!

Much Love
