I don't know where to start when talking about this trip.There is so much that we took in, I imagine it will take a while to process it all.
Not only did we get to see pretty much every site there was to see, but we also got to spend an enormous amount of time with our friends and their kids. We lived with them for 10 days. We very much enjoyed it.
General facts:
-We flew into Vienna and got to spend our 5 year anniversary in the city.
-Then we traveled to Brno, CZ which is where we spent most of our time.
-The first day we went out with the Dostals on our own I got injured.
A week and a half later my black eye is almost gone, and I'll only have a small scar on my forehead.
-We attended both churches they attend.
-We met almost all their regular contacts and had meals with several Czech families.
-We didn't get lost and didn't get stuck on any trams (some of them did break)
-We saw the busyness of their lives (even on their school break)
-I was shown love by having Abram ask to sit by me and hold my hand at most chances.
-I learned how difficult it is to communicate.
-We spent a day and a half in Prague. -Learned how to grocery shop, go to the pharmacy, ask where a public restroom was, pay to use a restroom.
-We walked (almost) everywhere, even if we had to carry kids or groceries.
-Learned you can't hide your nationality when kids are with you.
-Paid for dozens of tram and bus tickets and never showed them to anyone.
-We hiked, ran, walked, played soccer, built forts, climbed stairs (often), walked,played some game with hockey sticks and a ball, carried kids, walked and climbed on cool playgrounds. Lot's of walking.
Overall we had a lot of fun, learned a lot about living in the Czech Republic and a lot about the Dostal family.
It was a good trip for us, it has given us insight and encouragement; hopefully we were able to encourage the Dostals also.
