enJOY it

Did you notice I found the quotations? And the question mark? Score.

I am not sure what the square is called. Dad, please enlighten us. But I can assure you it is very famous and very pretty. There are a lot of old houses and even more old people. So that is cool.

We wandered and wandered and shopped a bit and ate a bit. We spent about $10 on food and beer for lunch and decided that is way too much in this town. Unlike London, the exchange rate is our friend here. Our other friend is ice cream. Which we found for about $.50 and we know we can do much better.

It is pouring rain outside right now. I know this because I can hear the thunder, and also I just saw our Canadian friends come inside dripping wet and yelling expletives. This might make dinner plans a little more interesting.

And wait for the coolest news: When we got back from walking the nice lady at the front desk and I had a chat. It went something like this:

Nice Lady: Which one of you has the name Blaha?
EJB: Oh, me. It is from my Grandpa, he is Czech.
NL: Oh, I wondered because you do not hear it a lot here, but sometimes.
EJB, suppressing desire to say, "Is there a ‘Cafe Blaha’, or better yet, a ‘Blaha Bar’, around here?": Cool! Do you know what it means? Because I heard ‘clowlike.’
NL: It sort of means like a jokester. Or if someone says ‘oooh, blah-ha’ it means ‘oh. wow.’
EJB: You mean like that person is lying?
NL: No. Like ‘wow.’

Like I said, it went something like that. I wish I had recorded it.
