Photos from the bike
It's getting cold out but I'm making sure I get on my bike plenty. There's a certain masochistic joy to riding a bike through the winter.

No promises
Okay, okay I'm back... in many senses of the word. Monday marks two months of being in Prague (part II: real life edition) and I figure I should start sharing my photos again. However, I'm working as an English teacher and in all honestly, I'm totally swamped. Lesson planning takes up the majority of my time and the rest of it I'm usually at school doing the actual teaching. I hopefully will get the hang of it soon but, until then, I'm keeping my head down and powering through it.
The first month of living in Prague was spent getting my teaching certificate. It was an intensive 4-week program with some of the most amazing people I've ever met. Many have left since the end of the program but many have stayed - truly wonderful people to have known and worked with. It was a demanding course but a total blast.
Also, this round of Prague has a very important component: a bike! I found a lovely shop (Hot Dog Cycles) which built me an incredible bike. This isn't an easy biking city between cobblestone, tram tracks, and Czech drivers but that's not enough to stop me. No matter the city, country, or continent, biking seems to keeps me sane.
Adjusting to life in Prague is constantly challenging, frustrating, and discouraging but I'm so happy to be here and I know it will be worth it.
Hi Mom!
