Prague Journal

Well, my attempt at red hair is not exactly a disaster, but not what anyone would call a success either. The box says “extreme intensive red” (in Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Polish and Romanian, but not English), and the model on the cover looks quite different than what I ended up with. Only in Prague is this color inconspicuous. My hair will grow out; I hope the stains on the towels will also fade. I’m afraid that I may get red dye on my pillowcases, even though I rinsed my hair three or four times. Stay tuned.
The Easter markets are starting to open, despite the fact that there’s snow and ice on the ground. It is sunny today, however, and a bit warmer. By late afternoon most of the snow on the streets had melted. After dinner, we escorted Matt to the Globe Bookstore for a rendezvous with Richard and Veena, two Fulbright students, who took him to out (mostly to various bars and hangouts) for the evening, which lasted well into the wee hours of the morning.
