Hello all!

Well, Naomi and I have made it to this beautiful city and couldn't be more thrilled about it. We flew over with a good friend, Jay Havens, and the flights went well. During our stop over in Amsterdam we even had time to visit the art gallery that is in the airport.
When we arrove in Prague(and went through the easiest customs ever, seriously, this country is easy to get into) we were delighted to find Julek waiting for us. Julek is a director from Prague who we both worked with at Studio, and who was a huge help in getting us here. We caught a shuttle to our HUGE apartment, and we greeted by the host's son and his three year old son. He had bought us some food to get us started, which was lovely. (Sidenote, even inside, the sweat is pouring down my face - it is super warm here. yes, thats right, super warm)We showered and settled in and the wandered the neighbourhood and met Julek for a drink and dinner, and more drinks. For a HUGE meal, 2 beers and a gin it was about $10. What a deal. Luckily we had Julek with us to keep us out so we could adjust to Prague time and to help us order. He took us to a Simpson's themed restaurant. Sitting in the middle of Prague, hearing nothing but Czech being spoken, eating nothing my starch and meat and seeing the Simpsons hand painted on the wall while listening to the latest of the american chart toppers is quite the experience indeed.
We both awoke in the middle of the night to the birds(normally I would try to be poetic and say the symphony of birds, but really, it wasnt, it was a raquet of a lot of REALLY loud birds right outside our window...luckily we arent at the apartment James(another friend from Vancouver) and all are staying at, as they have a ghost tour that walks outside there window and until the wee hours hear the "ghost" jump out at people and then the approprite sceams...I suppose birds arent really that bad) ANYWAYS, birds at 3 or 4 am and then we fell back asleep. Luckily Naomi was up when she was, because my battery charger blew up and is now a melted mess, so there goes that theory. James called us in the morning and we met him, Jay, Amber, Mariejka, Tammy and Evelyn at the PQ. Getting there involved a walk and a bit of a run around figuring out how to buy tram tickets. The PQ is huge, and I start my first workshop tomorrow. I am in it from 10am until 7pm for 4 days. It should be quite the adventure. We also had 50 cent hot dogs. Yummy.
After that James walked and metroed with Naomi and I back into town, where we left him to go back to his apartment. We went to the tourist traps, and walked across Charles Bridge, then found the TESCO hypermarket where we bought 5$ wine, as well as shampoo, tape and soap. I want to buy shampoo and wine in the same store everywhere.
There is more to tell and this has jumped around alot, but time is running out.
Love love love love love to you all
