This is going to be a short one because we are on a library computer due to the fact the main server for all new students at the University and we still have no internet! Trying to get connected to the internet here is like the Czech trying to put a man on the moon...virtually impossible! Once we get the internet back (hopefully soon) we will post more and get the pics up from our trip as well as some pics of our fellow ERAMUS (foreign students).
Just a little bit of catch up before we have to run. We got back in to Brno around 0200 Monday morning, woke up our roommates and crashed only to get up at 0730 for class and a meeting in town at 0900. We made it for half the day, but had to go to the Czech hospital to have Lynseys eye looked at. Somehow she either scratched it or has something in it because it was all red and teary from Sunday morning on. She got a patch put on her eye and some cream to put in it and it seems to be working. It was quite funny to see her with the patch and we will post the pic for sure. The group of people we are with our all pretty cool. We are the only Americans but there are a couple of English people so that is good. We have been taking a Czech language course during the day and we are all completely lost. It is a tough language to learn. Other then that, all is well with both of us and we are on our way back to the hospital to have her eye checked out again and then we are gonna do some shopping for supplies. We had some genuine Lithunian Vodka last night from the Lithunian girls. It was good and I have never in my life just passed a vodka bottle around and taken pulls from it until last night. We finished the bottle and some beers and called it a late night only to get up and go back to Czech language course! YUCK! Atleast we get to skip it this afternoon! Our dorm has a full out pub in the basement along with a movie theather, fitness room, rock climbing wall, and some other stuff. Not to shabby. A pint of good beer here cost less than 1 dollar. That is better than dimers and its everyday all day! Ok, we have to go so I promise I will write more once our internet works again! Until then, live by these infamous words of Bill Murray in the movie Stripes!!
"Come on, it's Czechoslovakia. We zip in, we pick them up, and we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia, it's like going into Wisconsin."
-Well, I got the shit kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it!"
Take care and stay tuned for more from the exciting world of Jon and Lynsey!! Ciao!
