We went from a 5 star hotel to a cement box with doors and a bed. These dorms out here in Čelákovice are a piece. The building used to be a communist training facility, so it's literally just plain white cement walls, plain rock hard beds, plain everything. It's all good though. We're only here for a week and when we get to our apartment, we'll just appreciate it that much more!
There's a cafeteria here, but it only serves breakfast and lunch, so we've had to eat out for dinner every day, which is fine because it's much cheaper here. Including 2 entrees, 2 drinks and the tip, Brod and I can eat for $15. The food in the cafeteria is very interesting. Especially breakfast. They served carrots for breakfast one day along with meat and cheese for your bread, and green beans the next. It was odd. And inside that pastry-looking thing, there was a weird brown thing that looked like sausage but tasted sweet. That was an interesting surprise!
The elevator is definitely the weirdest thing I've ever seen. It looks like a door to a closet and it's tiny, only 4 people can fit (barely) and you can watch the doors to each level pass by.
The reason for even being here, is there is a week long condensed class that requires Brody to be here for longer hours and do more group work, so it's just more convenient if all the students are close. The town itself though, is out in the middle of nowhere. There is nothing to do here. Nothing. Meghann and I have had a difficult time coming up with things with to occupy our time while the boys are in class all day. We've done all the exploring that we can, and other than that, we just read books, play games and surf the web. We can't even watch TV shows or movies online because those websites only stream in the US. Ahh. I just want to be in Prague and see everything there! Oh well. Only 3 more days
There won't be many posts this week, since there's not much going on, but I'll try and give all the details I can in each.

Yeah you need to get out of that place... you sound depressed! But don't stop posting, because even though you think not much is going on it is still way interesting to all of us here! Love you!
Wahhh!! I wish I could have you working on my photo blog. I'll try to keep my blog or facebook better updated so you will have something to do. Hang in there! That blue elevator would make for a fabulous retro photo shoot. You could put together a modeling profile while you're there and you and Meghan could just take pictures of each other all day.
The elevator looks awesome! haha! Nice room, still better than some things I've seen...but not much. Thank heavens you have someone to be bored to tears with you! It's twice as fun that way!
Ya, I'm so glad you have Meghan (I know I spelled that wrong) it would be much worse being all alone! I was thinking that it's OK for you to call Wednesday mornings like you did today since I'm not having to do anything (like making breakfast) - I can just lay in bed and talk. Hang in there for three more days!
