What Have We Been Doing in May?

Time flies when you're having fun...This has been especially true of the last month! Spring officially arrived in early May and there has been no shortage of fun things to do in the warmer weather. Here are a few things we've enjoyed in the past few weeks:

A day of hiking outside Prague with Charlie and John - we hiked to two quarries named Velké and Malé Americka (Big and Small America). It was a fantastic day!

Watching the Prague Marathon - The race route went by our flat! I spent a few hours watching the race...it was very inspiring. Below is a photo I took of the man who actually won the race. It was incredible to watch him in person. I also took a short video around mile 8 of a group of teenagers playing the drums for the runners as they ran by. So fun!








Beer gardens - the Czechs really love the outdoor beer gardens. There is one in a park called Riegrovy Sady. Here we are one evening enjoying a Gambrinus. Since it doesn't get dark here until around 9 p.m. these days, it's particularly fun to hang out in the garden at the end of a long sunny day!
Knitting group - Obviously, this is something I've been enjoying, not Phil. My friend, Joanna, has a Stitch and Bitch group every other Saturday afternoon at her flat. It is a great time for me to knit and talk with interesting women. Her son, Sasha, often brightens my day by greeting me at the door with a, "Oh, Hi Danielle!" One afternoon, he ended up sitting in one of her knitting baskets and was so cute, I just had to take a picture!
