Sarah and Elise made it safely to the Czech Republic! With a 9 hour time difference and far too many hours sitting, the girls were exhausted. Elise was hit with jet-lag right away, so Sarah and I ventured out to the city for a little exploring while Elise slept. We walked to the castle (I can not begin to express how much I will miss being able to say that) and then wandered over to Petrin Hill. It was the most beautiful day Prague has seen in at least two weeks! The sun was shining and so were all the travelers meandering around the park. What a refreshing sight! People were smiling and laughing.
Sarah and I grabbed some bread and cheese on our way out, so we found a little playground that overlooked Prague and sat down for a chat. It was wonderful to catch up and watch all the bugs and birds fly around. Oh! And we saw a squirrel! It was my first Czech squirrel and it pretty much looked the same as American squirrels...except that it had pointy ears.
We watched a movie and made dinner last night, so it was a calm evening. And this morning we went to church and I was able to introduce the girls to most everyone who has been waiting to meet them. The International Church of Prague has been such a huge blessing to me and I am so sad to be leaving my friends here.
The girls have about two more minutes of their nap before we head out for church again and then possibly down to Wenceslas Square for a showing of the Czech hockey game tonight.
