It is such a pleasure to have a day to myself. I have lots of errands to do – bank and post office errands among them – and catching up on e-mail and blog entries. Writing a diary is hard, since the details of the days blur quickly. Most of my official projects are finished here, with just a few case studies and reviewing duties remaining (some of which, like Olga’s company Gity, will not be finished before I leave here).
Vladimir came to re-set our wireless router so that Donna, the Fulbrighter who will rent our flat this fall, can use it for her computer when she arrives next month. So now we are thinking about how we will set up our internet connection in Denver when we return. We have more options now than when we left a year ago. We have several things to consider, among them our phone options, since we disconnected our telephone when we left last August. We have gotten quite used to mobile phones here. On the other hand, landline calls are not free here as they are in the US and mobile phones here are cheaper to use – especially for text messages – than in the US.
Rick and I had dinner with Veena at Cantina, a Mexican restaurant on Ujezd near Bohemia Bagel. The food was good, but not as good as Mexican food in Denver. I miss hot salsa and refried beans.
