...I just want to start a flame in your heart."
Czech Republic continues to burn bright in my eyes. Since I last updated I've:
- become a partaker of the public health system here (Visited the hospital already! Thanks, Mr. Bronchitis)
- crossed the German/Czech border and watched the sunset there
- explored the Czech Switzerland National Park
- ridden a gondola in the beautiful Hřensko wonderland
- frolicked through Teplice's botanical garden
- delved into AniFest
- cheered on the Czech Pro Cycling Tournament
- tasted my first yellow watermelon and papaya
- protested the sale of Disko cookies (not really, but they are evil addictive things! haha)
- run the Kings Trail in Bilina and the route up to the castle, Doubravka
- had my first Eurovision experience
- learned how to play Touch Footie
- trecked on foot from Krupka to Teplice
- danced til the wee hours singing 80s songs with the principal of one of the Czech schools I work for and some of our coworkers/friends
I feel like I've been around the world and back, but what matters more to me than any of these events and happenings is the people I spent them with. And if you're reading this right now and I know you, know that I'm glad for that, even if we've only spoken or hung out a few times.
I am terrible about staying in touch, but I think of friends and family a lot and all the people I'm blessed to cross paths with. I believe that nothing is by chance and I'm thankful for every minute of this life we have. I wish I had some profound words to say to you right now.. but I don't :) Just know that you are loved....
