Happy bunny

We discovered that bunny likes grapes, the same way we do - bottled!!

Rubbing elbows

We visited St. Clement's Anglican Episcopal church this morning. The church is on the other side of the river from us, just at the edge of Old Town. It was built in the early 1700's, and is fairly small compared to some of the other church buildings in Prague.

As it happened, St. Clement's had other visitors today!




Yes, Prince Charles and Camilla were also in attendance. We arrived early enough to be seated directly behind the royal party. It was an amazing experience - seeing someone so famous as part of a normal congregation.

There were a few things that struck me as I gazed at the Prince- one- he (and Camilla) looked a lot older than I had expected them to, and two- they are just as human as the rest of us!

Riverside Easter egg hunt

The school where I work has an annual Easter egg hunt for the primary school children, although it is NOT a traditional egg hunt.

In this hunt, the teachers hide in the woods with a basket of chocolate eggs and the kids (and their parents) roam through the woods searching for the teacher stations. When they find one, they must answer a question in order to get an egg. At our station, we required the kids to sing "Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes" to earn their eggs. There were lots of groans from the older boys, but they all complied!

You could tell the teachers by their ears! Our friend Laura is heading off to hide......

Elliot was having fun...

Ready, set, go.....

A happy hunter heads home - Owen was very proud that he found all the teachers!

Getting out and about

On Saturday, we braved the windy cold weather and went out to dinner with our friends, Mabelle and Jim. Unfortunately for us, this was a bittersweet outing because Jim and Mabelle are moving back to the US this week.

We had dinner at a nice restaurant called Louis Armstrong's. The food is good, reasonably priced, and we love the atmosphere. Anything below-grade with bricks, arches and little rooms, candles and antiques, makes us happy.

Then it was on to the Royal Oak pub for some live country western music. Sam, pictured below, bought Jim's guitar, and we all wanted to hear how it would sound. Sam has a great repertoire of the old-style Texas country songs. No Garth Brooks!!

Future entertainment for the Czech Inn or Mosaic House??

We had a good time, and will probably head back to the pub for their blues night!!
