August 4, 2009 - Fruits, Vegetables, Colors and Folksongs

Morning AND afternoon Czech classes today. We were introduced to all the fruits and vegetables, as well as the colors, then combined with another class to learn some Czech folksongs. Of course one of them was the song we dance to as the "Barbarov Polka" in our Czech dance group in St. Paul - the first time I had seen the words or knew what the song was about (distant lovers in South Bohemia.)

This afternoon found an internet shop with 3 higher speed computers, but it closes at 5 p.m., so may not be that helpful. Also took a camera memory card in to a photo shop to have made into a CD so those photos will be backed up. The photo shop also closes at 5 p.m. Imagine going back to the days when people did not work around the clock and you planned ahead and did not expect to be able to shop whenever you felt moved to! This is what the small town I grew up in was like 45 years ago.

  1. After an initial adjustment period in Germany, we LOVED the fact that stores weren't open in the evenings or on Sunday. Made for a much more relaxed family time.
