Day 12 and 13

First of all let me apologize for any spelling mistakes that there may be in this blog. I am using a Czech keyboard for the first time, and Im still learning the ropes. The biggest problem is that the y and z keys are switched around, which means that if I don§t pay attention I might type like this..."verz nice to see zou todaz". Anyways, the team and i are safe here in Ostrava. I have a wonderful host family, and I am enjoying staying in a family home. It means clean laundry! Today we went to a little village called Stromberk, which has been called the Czech Bethlehem. It was a very quaint little village with a strange tradition. Many centuries ago, Turkish invaders came into the village and cut all the ears off of the inhabitants. So today, they sell cookies there shaped like ears. I ate ear cookies! And don§t worry, they were delicious! We also got to visit the Tatra car museum, and see all of the cool old cars. Then, possibly my favorite part of the day, was when we got to visit Sigmund Freud§s birthplace. The museum thez have there is really cool, and the curatorship was above anzthing else I have seen on this trip. I§ll write more about it when I have a chance. Till then, know that everzthing is going well and I§m having a blast! Tommorow we are taking a trip to the Bendresky Mountains, and to a large shopping center...whoo hoo!

Word of the day is "Spisza!" prounounced "sh_pizza" it means SUPER!

Ta ta for now!
