first of all, and this really goes without saying, i am beyond excited to be with my friends. some of these people i've known for 8 years! others i met this past summer. here are some faces:
 |
| 2004 - first English camp: friends from Pardubice |
 |
| Girls from Bohumin in 2008 |

i also can't wait to have a good public transportation system. it's not necessary for us to have a car, because trains, buses, trams, and subways can get us anywhere! one of my favorite things to do is to stick my head out of a train window. not quite like these guys to my right, but i love that feeling of being in czech and having the freedom of looking out at the fields while the wind knocks the air out of me.

most certainly the food. czech breakfast is one of my favorites - it's usually meat and cheese on a rolik (fresh roll) with fruit and veggies. and tea or coffee. yum. i also love the Czech national food: svickova (sveech-koe-va) - dumplings with beef tips and a special sauce, topped with cream and cranberry sauce. another favorite is mednovik, a Czech honey cake. tessa and i tried making it once, and it wasn't nearly as heavenly as it should have been.

then of course, there are things that i can't post a picture for. i've always wanted to go into ministry, and i'll be able to minister while teaching - something else i love. i love that this trip is so purposeful, and my whole intention in being there is to gain and build friendships and be Christ to people.
i'm excited to be "starting over" - to not be held back by traditions, and in general to have more time. not being held back by obligations. can't wait.
