death bed

I don't know if I have ever been so bored in my life. I can only sleep for a few hours at a time and can't eat a full plate of food and talking is exhausting. I am wiped out. BUT, I am trying to stay upbeat and positive, it is really hard. I think I am doing a pretty good job though.

My friend Andria, her family and their family friends are here in Prague for spring break. I was super excited until Monday when got so sick, I couldn't show them around or anything. Last night I met them for drinks and they showed me their apartment. Lovely folks. They are so funny and such sweet people. I left stocked with mac and cheese, peanutbutter, real nice kleenexes and nasal spray and love ;)

Today I was going to meet them for a little while, just to show them St Vitus church and walk through the castle with them. It was so nice to be around family again, even though they aren't mine. I wasn't around just 1 family, but 2! families! I loved it, I think it helped to have adults around me, to worry a little and comfort me. Sometimes mom-love is all you need, huh? well, it helps a lot at least. I was going go home after the castle but I was having so much fun and being outside and laughing was good for me, for sure. We went to lunch and they were all a hoot! One of the families went to Pilsner yesterday to meet their family from a few generations back! HOW COOL!! There was a HUGE language barrier,of course, but they still spent the entire day there and had a great time! I loved hearing their stories about it, makes me want to look back a few, well, a lot I guess, of generations and find some family in Europe. After lunch I had to part with them, partly because I couldn't breath and partly because it hurts my jaw to laugh and they were making me laugh too much.

A little upset though, almost, when I was walking around with them they would ask what building was what or why something was the way it was or when this or who that, and I couldn't answer a single question. "How was this museum? Have you been here? Did you like? Why is this?" I didn't know a thing. I have been here since January and we really try to go Prague crazy and see and do everything, but we still have managed to miss things, there are things that I haven't even heard of in Prague. Unbelieveable. I was actually really embarrassed! So, now we have a lot of work to do around here, a lot to see and only a few weeks to see it.

love from Praha,
