A visit from the brother

Josh came into town this weekend with the Oregon State Chamber Choir. They got here Friday night, and we headed to the Old Town Square where they play the World Cup on a big screen. We got a couple of beers and watched the game with his choir buddies. We met up Saturday afternoon and walked around Charles Bridge and Old Town Square, then met up again at night and went to the National Museum (it was free for the evening!) before hanging out at a pub down the street from my apartment to watch more World Cup. His choir performed on Sunday at the Hlahol Hall on the river, and the concert was great. I took my roommates and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It was great to venture through the city with my big bro! I also went to the Church of Sts. Peter and Paul down the road from my school on Sunday morning with my roommate Nichelle to experienced mass in Czech! It was a much more traditional mass, with the full incense deal typical of holy days in the states, and an adoration session after communion which we were not expecting. The organ rocked the house though (literally), and for those members of the Seitz family, I was interested to find out that the relic housed in the altar is that of St. Valentine. Today on our field trip for Architecture we toured Vysehrad (where my school is). There is a fortification system surrounding the area, and within the walls are tunnels which we were led through. At the end of the maze was a gigantic room, probably 40 feet tall, where some of the original statues from Charles Bridge are housed. It was quite a surprise!


In the square Friday night...we love you mom and dad, aren't you proud!!???
