Canada Day

We started the day off right having breakfast with fellow Canadians..

Then wandered around the river looking at odd things.



Then paddle boating with Australians.


(Mike is taking me on the swan paddle boat for my birthday next year!!)

 (Decent views from the river.)
 Then to Kampa Park for some big baby fun and frisbeeing.



And a world cup game at the beer gardens.

the June roundup

 June started off with our school's Summer Fayre.  Mike worked the bar for the morning..


Then we headed to the Grad students dinner party on top of a really high hotel.


Said good bye to some of our friends that were moving back to the states.


Saw an amazing Firebird.  (I didnt want to stand too close in case I started to grow a mullet.)

And then we took the metro home..  

the May roundup

I looked up the definition of "roundup" quickly before I titled this blog post.  This is what I found.


1.
a. The herding together of cattle for inspection, branding, or shipping.
b. The cattle so herded.
c. The workers and horses employed in such herding.
2. A gathering up, as of people under suspicion by the police.
3. A summary: a news roundup.

Interesting, no?  I would use this word so much more often if I was a cattle farmer, apparently.

May.  It was a busy month.  We started by moving.  Ugh.  But yeah!!  We moved a 1930's apartment a bit closer to town, but still close to school.  And with lots more character!  (Much to Mike's dismay at first...)  We had some of our lovely friends help us move up to the fourth floor of our new building.  Without a lift.  They were incredibly kind about it!  This is what they had to look forward to when they were done though.

And this is what our place looked like for the next couple days.  Err..  I mean weeks.

Then we went to the Electronic Beats festival to see Hot Chip!!  We got there incredibly early.  Like 830pm.  Apparently Hot Chip wasn't going to be on until 1230am.  Haha!  Are we that old??  So we got some girlie drinks.
(Yes, Mike's "mojito" is the extra fruity one!)

Then saw this Vanilla Ice wannabe perform in all his white suit loveliness!


Then after a few more performances, HOT CHIP CAME ON STAGE!!!


They were fabulous and we danced all night!  


Then we went to explore Vyšehrad on our long weekend.






And the baby tower!







Which happens to have a Jewish cemetery close to it.


Then we went to see an outdoor play of Romeo and Juliet that our friend from school was in.


And then there was a party outside our building.  


With a pig on a spit,


and, yes, homemade chips!


And that was May.
