Prague

The view of the Charles Bridge from, um, another bridge. The consummate Pragueian pic, no?
Below we have the city view atop the Petrin hill tower. It was a drizzly day, but everything still looked beautiful. You can see four of the city's bridges crossing the Moldau. Nice!
Yay! I was very exciting to finally find this. It's the Dancing House or Dancing Couple building designed (in part) by Frank Gehry. Very neat! And people are just like eh, crusing by all the time.
So that's three pics for a start. Must get on some homework. No rest for the wicked.

Kisses,
Smelly.

I'm here!!! Okay, I've been here.

So I did Prague. The whole thing. The entire city. Nothing else to do. So I kicked it on over to Budapest. Here until the wee hours of next Sunday morning. Then home again home again jittity jig.

This trip has been fantastic--have a skillion pics, but blogga doesn't like this wireless connection. So I'll send a few on later once I'm on a better line.

Have seen, heard, drunk, and eaten much--has been a great time so far. I've been walking so much that I had the worst case of cankles in my personal history. I felt extremely attractive.

More lata--it's almost midnight here and I'm knackered. A town tour on the Danube, visit to the communist statue garden, 20+ wine tasting, and folk music and dancing show will do that to you.

And for those of you who want to snidely remind me that this is a school trip--shurrup. This was a holiday for you today as well. Suck it!!

I'm just kidding, baby, I love you. Mama promises she'll be good.

Don't even start with me.

Suffice it to say that things have been hectic. I leave for Prague tomorrow evening; there for a week, then on to Budapest for another week. This is a study abroad program for school. It's going to be great; will have laptop with me, so theoretically can post to the old COP. But only if you are really nice. And say pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease!!! Then I will think about it. Below, in concise bullet form, are some of the things that have been going on since we last danced:

• My boss fucking quit. With -1 day notice. Very likely so that she would not have to pay back her sign-on bonus. Classy and oh so very ethical.
• I got poison oak. In lots of places, but the moneymakers were my ASS and eyelids.
• Didn't get my US passport back from renewal until YESTERDAY. Many tears have been shed and many pants have been shat.
• In addition to getting ready to be out of the office for 2 weeks and scrambling to recover from boss' failure to return from maternity leave, I have had class in prep for this study abroad from 5-9pm every night this week

I am worn and wrinkled but pushing on. By this time tomorrow, I'll be. . . well, I'll be packing most likely. But then a few hours after that, hopefully sitting on a plane with a cocktail. Hmm, won't that be nice!

Kisses, darlings--what would you like me to bring back for you???
