I don't want to set the world on fire...

...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
• hiked to the largest natural stone bridge in Europe
• ridden a gondola in the beautiful Hřensko wonderland
• frolicked through Teplice's botanical garden
• delved into AniFest 
  
• cheered on the Czech Pro Cycling Tournament
• picked my first fruit ever in the Czech countryside
• eaten liver and raw beef
• tasted my first yellow watermelon and papaya
• protested the sale of Disko cookies (not really, but they are evil addictive things! haha)
• experienced the Lazenska Sezona crazyness
• 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....
