I just figured out how to connect my camera to this computer. Yay!!! Now I can share my pictures, not just things from the web. Well, this week has been pretty quiet. I met Katka, my 14 year old sister. We have a lot of things in common, including movie/tv preferences. CSI in Czech will take some getting used to, but at least the show is on the air here. A couple days ago we went to Konopiště, the home of Franz Ferdinand. He was the archduke whose assasination helped to spark WWI. It was beautiful, but inside was decorated with too many dead animals for my taste. This morning I went to my new school with my host father to work out classes. We met with the headmaster and a few other people who could speak English. I will take 6 classes, 45 mintues each. The administrator are currently choosing which classes are best for me, and I don't know specifically what classes I will be in. I asked for French, music, English, Czech, history, math, and science. The language camp through Rotary starts on Saturday. It will be nice to learn Czech with other English speakers. I have not had a conversation with advanced words for almost three weeks. I have to use simpler words with my new friends and family, but that doesn't bother me.

argg....you signed off RIGHT before I got on. At 6:50. I'll know to get on early if I want to talk to you. It sounds like you really like it there, I'm so glad. You are going to have the time of your life. Please take lots of pictures! I am thinking about starting a photo page like John Cox. I am working hard Bronwyn, saving money to buy myself a ticket to Praha. My dad said that the only way I could come was if I had a direct flight. No trains, unless its from Praha to Trutnov.
Bronwyn, its so awesome that you are a good photographer. Everyone can really see how the Czech Republic really looks.
