Night at the Museum... more then a movie... it's an experience... at least in Prague! Once a year the city hosts "Night at the Museum" where they open the museums and have events at the museums all for free. This year this fell on June 14, and we went.
Total there were 25 museums open and 51 events going on according to the website, but I feel like there was actually a lot more. We visited the Police Museum, National Gallery, Galerie Rudolfinum, Bridge Tower, and Bryan visited a composers house in passing while I ran back home to get the camera. At one point (National Gallery) we were in Old Town where amongst all the Museum hoppers were the Euro Cup patrons. it wasn't a Czech game, but the screens were up and people were having a celebration. Very busy night for Prague.
Perhaps my favorite part was the Tower Bridge. Bryan had gone up in the tower when he was here before, but that was also in the day time. We were lucky enough to be there on an amazingly clear night and we had the camera. We had to improvise but I feel like we got some amazing pictures.
Every day continues to be a learning experience. This week Bryan is in Macedonia and when I talked to him (briefly) he seemed very excited and to be enjoying himself. He made it there safely, so just continue to keep him in your prayers for the duration of his trip. I should be deciding on the English camp soon, just waiting to see a few things about work before committing.
We did get to talk to some of the family this weekend via Skype which was nice. It's an amazing program, especially if you are living abroad! It's hard to believe we are one-third of the way through our time here. It is getting to be more of a lifestyle and less of a trip, we are adjusting. The duration of our time here I feel will go quite quickly because our calenders are a little busier, especially from now until the end of July. Hopefully I'll be able to keep this updated as well as the pictures, but we will be very busy... I will do my best.
