Thanksgiving dinner is not the same when eaten at a hotel. But at least I had the opportunity to be with close friends. I am thankful for the wonderful meal, my incredible experience here, and the family and friends that I miss very much.
I just wish that everyone could be with loved ones on this day.
I did have the chance to just talk to my entire family on skype. I didn't think about taking a picture of the first 2 groups of people :[ but for your viewing pleasure I give you my brother and aunt on Thanksgiving!
Missing you all tons. Love you so much.
Our program treated us to a fancy dinner at the Marriott hotel complete with turkey, yams, and cranberries.
The food was absolutely incredible, but as with these things, it simply was not the same as sitting by the fire at Beth's. The food was fancy banquet food. And there wasn't even any Jifka involved!! :]
This week has been a crazy week as it seems to be the time for everyone to visit friends! Possibly due to the fact that we only have 3 weeks left in the program, many family members and friends are visiting. I went out to dinner with Annie's family at U Fleku. They seemed to enjoy the experience and I absolutely loved getting to know them.
Additionally, my friend, Raila, had a friend visiting from Finland. We took her to the Globe (a local coffee shop) and Pantheon (the Czech freestyle rap bar that we often spend our Mondays at.) After all, no Prague experience is complete without the crazy rapping styles in Czech. I can barely understand English rap, let alone a language that I barely speak, but places like the Pantheon just make this whole experience more personal. I'm pretty sure that every time we step foot in the underground bar, we are the only non-Czechs, and I love it!
