Full of Magic, Lacking Cheese

This weekend we had some visitors in Brno. The lucky few were Tommaso (Ostrava) and Erik, Jenny, Rapha, Michela and Michela’s sister Kendra joining us from Prahaha.

Highlights of the weekend:
-Beautiful spring weather-- you know it’s spring when you see 2 bugs doing it (as Rapha calls it) “buggystyle” . I’ll post the picture later
-Visiting the Mendel museum where not only did you learn about how Mendel is the “Father of Modern Genetics”, you also had the opportunity to (as the brochure said) learn about “Mendel, the man”. Also had fun taking pictures with the statue outside
-Rapha doing the “reach for the stars” dance at the Spilberk Castle. Why? I don’t remember why, but I have an embarrassing video of him doing it now
-Talking with Jenny and Erik about feelings and magic
-Doing B-52 flaming shots with Nuria, Erik, and Jenny. Jenny got really mad at me because I blew the flame out before I drank it. I know you’re not supposed to do that but my straw caught on fire and the flames were moving rapidly towards me! Sorry Jenny-- I didn’t want 3rd degree burns
-Comparing the guy’s asses and reminiscing about how much fun it was to do that with Bina around
-Sandwiches
-Tommaso bringing his dance moves to Brno again. They still are (and always will be) awesome
-Telling Jenny and Erik that the best smazeny syr was in Brno and we would go to get it after the bar, only to have them run out of smazeny syr by the time we got there. Well, actually there was 1 left and I ate it. They said I could!
-Going to Olomouc on Saturday after getting only 5 hours of sleep
-Taking fun pictures with the Olomouc turtle.
-Being really excited to see the astronomical clock on the hour after missing it during my last visit and then wondering what the fuss was about, the figures didn’t even turn! Ahhh well….
-The carnival like music on the Olomouc trams, much nicer than just a beep
-Forgetting to eat the special Olomouc cheese, a tragedy that was only offset by the fact that we had really good ice cream. Mine was healthy, it was a banana split!

As always, it was dobre. Fakt!

There is no excuse for blowing the flame out, not a single one. Respect Absinth!

You forgot to mention that I was also mad that you didn't finish the Becherovka at once. Couldn't believe you managed to embarrass me twice in a row. Respect the shot!

Anyway, thanks for the good time. Fakt.

Ah yes, the Becherovka, I forgot that. I prefer to savor the taste of Becherovka in respect for the memory of Jan Becher who turned smelly Karlovy Vary water into the beauty that is Becherovka.

FYI you're an alcoholic.
