Mission to the Czech Republic

...That's not really a joke, but I laughed because it actually happened last night. I love how culturally diverse this place can be! Oh, and Jesse and I kicked butt at foosball. My updates have been delayed for the last two weeks, basically because blogger has decided to have a revolution and prevent me from uploading any pictures to my web page. It seems today that we have things under control, so hopefully you'll get to see this wonderful picture of Cieszyn above, and Hukvaldy below.
Cieszyn is a border town in Poland where I went with Laura, Joel, and Chrissy last Friday. I spent a fortune on Polish pottery, which has a resemblance to Vera Bradley purses. I never was much for Vera Bradley, but how can I pass up this pottery opportunity? I mean, it's Polish! Hukvaldy was the castle ruins we visted the week before. It was a beautiful day, with the fall colors surrounding us on top of a mountain.

Here we are in Cieszyn!
As I'm reading what I've written so far in this update, I'm a little disappointed in myself. I usually pride myself on being a halfway-decent writer, but I've realized lately that my fear is beginning to come true. They told me it would happen: when you teach English, for some strange reason, your English gets worse. So please forgive any grammar mistakes and misspellings (did I even spell that right?), becuase when you have to "dumb down" your language, for lack of a better word, you really lose a lot of your vocabulary. And apparently your ability to spell and form coherent sentences.
So in the mean time, I will try to keep my updates more regular and full of interesting facts and stories about life in the Czech Republic!
