watch your toes

well, apparently its the 650th anniversary of the charles bridge and everybody is down at the center tonight. except me. i just know i got home tired this afternoon and took a much needed shower and passed out to sleep. i just woke up 10 minutes ago to the sound of a silent neighborhood. does no one else realize how early we have to be on a bus to budapest? 6 am anyone? oh well, im glad i got at least some sleep. anyway. lots to catch up on. hopefully i can get to it all. ill start with the fourth of july. had tacos (a few actually) and drinks (also a few) at a classmates/neighbors apartments. then went to the local pub for pool and darts. pretty good times, but i think a lot of us paid for it the next day. toured the prague castle (or at least some of it) the next day, which was cool. pictures were taken, but uploading them now seems like quite the chore right now. after budapest i will get them on here. but anyway. my memory is failing me at the moment, so some info is slipping through the cracks. friday morning is spent training it to vienna. 5 hours more or less. beautiful buildings, pretty city. the viennese (sp?) go big or go home. very impressive castle complexes. got lost in a labrynth and maze and spent saturday in awe. friday night got my big toe caught in an escalator. i look down and my foot is covered in blood. so, with the help of my classmates we get it cleaned out (in a mcdonalds bathroom). im standing with my foot under the sink. pretty gross. plus it was a womens bathroom, but no one seemed to mind. better now. bought some decent bandages. let that be a lesson to you all. watch your toes on escalators. i always thought i was invinsible, but there is some truth to watching your toes. maybe just watch yourself in vienna. violent ones there. anyway. today consisted of checking out of the hostel and leisurely wandering around town. austria is expensive. its on the euro and so its so easy to blow a bunch of money and not even realize it. especially after getting used to the cheap life here in prague. gotta love the crown. and the nightlife was a little less to be bargained for. seemed like walking took up the majority of our nights. i tried to request justin timberlake in a club and i got a silly look. the austrians are an odd bunch. or was it us crazy americans? train ride back was decent... somehow between the three of us who didnt get up early today to catch the 830 train it was a good time. put down a few budvars. bonding is at a high level right now. couple of the classmates are becoming friends and looking forward to budapest to get to know some more of them. i really think that theres more to this weekend, but i honestly dont remember at the moment. will try to update in budapest. internet connection has been promised at our hostel. have a good night everyone, think im going to bed. watch your toes.
