Planned: 1. Costa Rica, of course. (Even if I don’t get to the surfing part – which I hope I do because that would KICK ASS, I’ll be thrilled to increase fluency in Spanish.) AND I’m going to try to challenge myself by choosing as my accomodations the “sheltered hammocks.” For a whole month, I’ll […]

I’ve spent hours at the computer for the past couple days researching housing, emailing groups like American Women in Prague (through yahoo), Czech bloggers I’ve found, and sending emails to housing agencies over there – […]
just wait till you see these pictures
Tonight, after 7 hours of lone wandering around the city, was the first time I thought, “I don’t want to go back to the flat yet, I want to stay out.” But my back and feet were killing me, and I had too much crap I was carrying. I couldn’t get the keys they gave […]
