The last few days have been fairly low key--for me at least. It's really kind of a relief after the information overload of Vienna. I am in the process of downloading pictures from my camera and putting them on Photobucket, but I think I will make everybody wait to look at them until I get home and I can give a long-winded context to each picture. It's more fun that way. For me.

Today we're going to a little town called Slovkov, I have no idea what we're doing there except having lunch. The day after tomorrow we're going into a cave and to the Litovel brewery, and something else. I'm really looking forward to the caves. It has been miserably hot here, it may as well be Kentucky July for how humid it has been. There are so few buildings with air conditioning that we all learn to gravitate towards the shade.

This Friday we're leaving for Budapest, so I will doubtless have another hands-clasping-omigawd-historical kind of weekend.

Some people here have turned to the barter system, laundry in exchange of a beer, hey, it works for us. Gotta run, I'm going to finish my pictures and then get on the bus for Slovkov, wherever and whatever that is.
