Yesterday was warmer than Sunday and today is warmer than yesterday. There are now patches of green on the lawns and few icy spots on the sidewalks. Perhaps spring will come in time for Easter!
Matt stayed with Veena last night and didn’t return to the flat until after 9am, so I went to VŠE, first to the Czech class and then to chat briefly with Martin and Eva. By the time I returned home, Matt had had lunch and was more chipper than I had expected. Most college kids bring dirty laundry with them when they visit their parents. Matt had clean clothes, but needed a haircut. He has a lot of hair, so it took nearly an hour to cut (unlike Rick’s which takes 5-10 minutes). By the time we left for our jaunt downtown, it was nearly 3pm.
We mainly walked around New Town, to the Municipal house and the Paris Hotel, down Na Přikope and Narodni, and then to Old Town. The Easter performances have begun and most of the Easter markets are open, so the square was crowded. Spring is in the air.
Aditya returns to Denver tomorrow, so we invited him to join us for dinner at the New Town Brewery. He’s been here for 10 weeks, the entire winter quarter. He'll go back to Denver with only a few days to spare before the spring quarter begins. School schedules, kids and travels mark the time – and it is passing very quickly
