Category: Prague etc

So our adventure is over – we leave tomorrow morning. The last couple of days have been a whirlwind of visiting all the places we were told we shouldn’t miss… Prague Castle (also grounds and St. Vitus cathedral)

Saturday we came back to Prague. Poland and Austria were awesome but it was good to come “home”. Countryside from the train: Then Sunday, (surprise!) we visited a church… Actually, we went to mass so I could hear the organ. Didn’t understand a word of the service but the music was good 😊 🎶 This… Continue reading Back to Prague

Where to begin… This was a day of tours and pictures. So much information that I honestly don’t remember a fraction of it but I’ll do my best. The morning tour was a walking tour of downtown Vienna – the historical bits. We started in Maria – Theresien Platz, a square dedicated to the only… Continue reading Vienna Day 2

Yesterday, we took a train from Krakow to Vienna. Unfortunately there were some serious delays so a trip that was supposed to take about 5 1/2 hours took almost 8. Sigh. As a result, we didn’t have time to do much last night aside from trying a new drink. Incidentally – a dirndl isn’t just… Continue reading Vienna!

My class is done, I’m officially certified to teach TEFL. That was… a lot. But I’m glad I did it. Equally glad it’s over!! The Prague train station has a giant Lego model of the station. So cool! Day 1 in Krakow has been nice – we got in around 1230, walked to the hotel,… Continue reading And on to Krakow!!

My class is almost over – doing ok with it but jeez. It is so different from how I usually plan and teach! I’m learning a lot of new skills, some of which I’ll probably incorporate into my regular teaching. The class should wrap up in Friday then it’s off to Krakow and Vienna!! But… Continue reading Prague part 2

Well, I’m going to try to catch up here. Class has settled a bit so I have a little breathing room. We landed 3 weeks (!!) ago – hard to believe it’s been that long… Mostly, we’ve been going to class (Sarah) and working (Pam) so it’s been business as usual. Kinda. In a city… Continue reading Prague!! Finally…
