August 14, 2009 - Night Language Games and Outdoor Disco

Besides Czech classes today, this afternoon we also had a film and tour at the Dobruška town museum about the history of the longstanding Jewish community in Dobruška. Of the four Jewish residents who survived the Holocaust, only one returned to the town. There is a Holocaust memorial and statue on the outskirts of town, which we have driven by in the bus.

This evening we went to nearby Opočno for dinner and a language test by candlelight with various stages along a walk through the village where at each stop we had to solve language tests to get a clue to the final puzzle.

At the end, as we solved the final puzzle, we were allowed to cross over into the park where a live band played music for dancing and there was food and beer available.

Party After

Some people were raving about the klobása sausage, so I had one too. It was very good. I took the "early" bus home, as it was not clear what time the "late" bus was returning. This gives me a chance to go to bed at 11 p.m. to be ready for our all day trip tomorrow.
