Imagine this

So since the last time I blogged, I've completely fallen in love with prague, to the point where I could see myself living here. Easily. Almost too easily that it is scary because I feel that I might not leave. It's such a hard place to describe when I sit down at my computer, but when I'm out in the city, I can verbalize it so well in my head. It's the strangest, most satisfactory mixture of slow days, or better phrased "days filled with an enormous feeling of ease", and action-packed nights. The people are mysterious, subtly nice, direct, heavily aware, and key on eye contact. There are so many little secrets I feel as if I've learned, these czech tricks of the trade. There is this liquor here called Bekerovka here which I am completely in awe of, which is essentially made of healing water, ginger and cinnamon that every czech soley believes in. Every single night here has been an complete EXPERIENCE in every sense of the word. I have this body buzz of joy and accomplishment that comes over me when I stop for a second and soak up what's around me. We're leaving for Moravia in the South Bohemia today at five and I'm a little buzzed from class. We started drinking at 9 am and then pub crawled with our Czech teacher and his guitar. It was great. More later. Much more. So happy here. (Paige)

I am glad you are happy. Nothing better than hearing good news from you, except maybe one of your giggles. Love G. Take pictures and live it up.
