A good story

So, as a result of the impulsive nature of our decision to head to Dresden, we had to find some last minute accommodations. So, that's where the squat came in. Yes, we stayed in a squat- a rather clean one, though, if I do say so myself. It was certainly an interesting night (and morning for that matter) and undoubtedly makes a good story.






Dresden


Somewhat of an impulsive decision, Erin and I decided to spend a couple days in Dresden with our buddies Andrea and Vojta. Beautiful weather (until the downpour) and a cool festival in Neustadt made for a lovely weekend.













En route to Dresden


My roommate and all-around veracious sidekick Erin got a bike built at Bicykl! Rather great timing, as she received it around the same time my cast came off. Over the weekend, we decided to meet up with some friends in Dresden. To save money, we took a local train from Prague to Děčín and then rode our bikes to the first stop in Germany, Bad Schandau. It was a gorgeous, leisurely ride - it felt amazing to be back on my bike.

Sulk City


Due to my unfortunate accident, I spent about 7 weeks off my bike. All of a sudden, I had all of this free time. Perhaps a more rational and resourceful person would focus on other things in their life but I spent those weeks focusing on how much bike riding I wasn't doing. I still got out and had a lot of lovely times but let's just say I wasn't myself.
