At long last I am back in the Czech Republic and able to update my blog again! For most of the months of July and August I was back in the United States seeing friends, family, new places and revisiting old ones. To give you a quick tour of my summer it involved making a few trips from my home in Urbana to visit friends in various reaches of Indiana, being in two weddings (both were just beautiful!), hosting a family reunion of my mother's side in Urbana, flying to LA to help train the new CZ teachers, driving to Alabama for a family vacation (minus Joel who was in Ethiopia this summer) and some time in the sun and Gulf, driving to Tempe, Arizona to move Daniel into ASU and see other friends in that area, hosting a couple friends that visited Urbana (thanks Dan and Jenny!), learning to ride a motorcycle, and finally flying back to the Czech Republic. I returned on Saturday. So if my summer could be summed up into one extremely long run-on sentence, that was it. The pictures below are select pictures from my experiences this past summer.
I am currently at school where I have internet and where teacher prep has started. We are preparing classes, lessons, and long term plans for this upcoming year. Things feel kind of back to normal, same teachers and same school as last year. The students will arrive on Monday. Stay posted for more summer pictures and beginning of the year photos.

A nice sunset in Alabama.

The majority of the teachers for the 2006-2007 Czech team, though some teachers couldn't make it to this picture, sadly. 

A new Team Pribram picture. Same old characters though. 

While hiking. Nice scenery.
