With friends in Znojmo
Beautiful town of Znojmo
GREEN in Moravia
How am I supposed to keep up with a blog when I can't even keep up with my own thoughts? Things here have been busy (but great!) lately. Over the past month or so, this is what has been going on:
-Weekend trip to Berlin
-Visit to Konopiste Castle (hour from Prague)
-Day trip to Plsen
-Parents come to visit
-Jason's mom comes to visit
-We all go to Cesky Krumlov
-Everyone leaves
-Off to Znojmo (a town in Czech wine country) for a wine tasting weekend with friends
-My birthday!
-Jason's aunt and uncle, cousins and their 3 little girls come to visit (fun but exhausting!)
Finally, this weekend, is our first weekend with no plans and it feels GOOD. Next weekend our
last visitor will arrive for a few days, and beyond that it's only a few more weeks before we pack up and leave at the beginning of July. Time flies, doesn't it? Can't decide how I feel about leaving yet. Prague is so much more enjoyable now that it's warmer out. Of course it's always a beautiful city, but especially now that it's filled with green trees, flowers and the occasional bit of sunshine. We've developed a great group of friends over the last 3 or 4 months, and now just as I'm feeling really settled it's time to leave. Exactly how I felt in Korea. And exactly why I'm ready to live somewhere I plan on staying for a long time.
It's not like we have to leave now, but the timing just seems to make sense. We came here imagining that we would stay for 10 months till the end of June, and that's what we're doing. from what I hear, in the summer, things slow down. Most people take vacation, so there isn't that much work available teaching English. Plus, all of our friends are leaving at the same time as us. So it just makes sense.
So for the next month before we leave, we will be trying to enjoy our time in Prague to the fullest. Relaxing at beer gardens in the sun, Friday afternoon frisbee days, wandering around the old town and marveling at the beauty of it all. After all, it won't be too much longer that I get to look at the beautiful scene like the one pictured above and think: I live here.
