We had a pretty low key week as we adjust and settle into a routine. Rod was in England attending and presenting at the summer meeting of the European Teachers of Physics Association. The weather has been just beautiful in Prague. The kids and Charyssa got in several afternoons of swimming and a couple of outings to parks. We have to put in a plug for the website http://www.kidsinprague.com/ It has been created by a group of English speaking moms in Prague and has the most comprehensive listing of activities, pools, parks, etc. of any site I have found. It's certainly enough to keep us busy for the next year! Well, thanks to this site we visited the most amazing outdoor playground/recreational area we have ever seen. It's called Gutovka Park and we spent an entire day there.
The big draw on a warm summer day was the stream that flows through every kind of water wheel contraption ever made. Kids have to work together to pump the water up through various gates and troughs. In addition to this, there is an enormous sandbox, a beautiful playground, two snack bars, a huge climbing wall, small go-karts, and a skate board park. And it's free! On the way out both kids asked, "Can we come back here tomorrow?" We also had our first out of town visitor. Our friend Patrick McDonough was traveling through town and we spent a relaxing Saturday taking in the sites and catching up.
