PRAGUE WEEKEND days 87-89

Vanessa, Jessica, Josh L, and i hopped on a train early (very early) friday morning, off to our Rotary weekend in Prague. First stop Oloumoc where we will pick up Josh H and Meagan.. We were hoping for a cabin that would seat all six of us.. but with no luck we split into two groups and found some seats..
Once in Prague we had a huge echange student reunion in the main train station.. that turned some heads.. czechs dont hug very ofter... :) .. It was really cute. I had had quite a difficult time packing the present that I had purchased because of its sizse.. so for this short weekend.. i had a hoge mountain backpack.. that could have fit most of the things that i brought to the CzR.. needles to say i was especially happy once we ended our tram+ train travels and finally arrived at our hotel...

**side note** i bought a 4ft giant teddy bear for Gaby (the girl i was to buy for from Mexico)

We went out for a quick dinner, came back to the hotel to play some games with the rotex (who were in charge of running the weekend) then set up quite the little salon in our hotel room..

AND before i forget.. we had a czech test.. we knew there would be a written part but surpris!! there was an oral exam as well.... :(
i did ok on the written and made it through the oral.. we were given a "yes", a "no" or a "maybe".. I recieved a "maybe"... there was only one "yes given out.. so i didnt feel soo bad.. knowing my czech isnt soo great....

.. Back to the salon... there were originaly only going to be a few people who wanted a little flair in their har. but by the end of the evening darn near everyone had a little streak ofred or purple. The guys even joined in... one was so brave as to trust me to dye his entire fringe fushia purple!... ( i was the official hair dresser of the bunch :) ) There was evern a few hair cuts :).. just a trim for myself but then we (myself and allie) gave a few trims and a few new fringes.. A little later the Rotex came in and admired our lottle splashes of colour and we all talked till the wee hours..

Saturday, there was a scavenger hunt planned for most of the morning.. it was really great. It was a tad frosty out but it was an inventive way to show us the sites of prague.. Really fun! Later we went to a shopping center .. the only thing i purchased was some coffee and some crepes.. i was soo tired.. and the crepes really hit the spot!.. so much for souvenirs.. im sure ill be back so im not to worried about my lack of purchases.

We were all pretty tired from the lack of sleep and from walking all day...
.. but that didnt stop us from having another great night... we set up the salon again and a few more hair dye virgins got some colour.. and most of the people that had a streak already really wanted more.. We chatted with the Rotex all night agin.. I was talking with this one guy.. i dont remember his name.. but he was a competative vooseballer.. i didnt even know that was possible! but it was an interesting chatt :)

Sunday we had an early breakfast and it pretty rough... we had to say our goodbyes to everone.. the next rotary meeting isnt until the end of January.. and Lauren , our australian is heading home beofre the next reunion... it may be the last time we see her... :(.. it was rough...

*** once I got home from Prague and finished telling the family all about my weekend, I started talking to Vítek about how I was disappointed about missing Baníks last game.. Luckily Vítek works a few of Baníks games.. selling beverages.. and informed me of that there was a switch and that there last game was tomorrow night!!! So I called up Roman, inviting him out for a change :)

Dobrou noc
