August (2019#16)
Whew, August was kind of a whirlwind! The first weekend of august, we took the train for a long weekend in Vienna. We went to the always amazing Natural History Museum, largely to see the new Antrho exhibits and the Venus of Willendorf. The next day we went to the Collection of Anatomical Pathology at the Madhouse Tower. Yes this was the major reason I wanted to go and we have to go back because you can call and arrange a behind the scenes in English, which of course I must do! After that we went to the Technical Museum, which we did not really have time to do justice, b/c we were exhausted. The following weekend, we stayed close to home because I felt horrible, plus we headed back to OK 13th for a quickie trip since E had a grad student's Comps to deal with.
I didn't tell anyone we would be there, although I did call L at the last minute since I had to go to OKC to get bras, so we got together for a last minute lunch. We got back to Prague, exhausted, on the 23rd. E's friend/colleague arrived in Prague on the 28th. Yesterday we took him site seeing and went Brevnov Monastery, plus I unexpectedly got a text from my only OK friend (B), who is in Prague for just 2 days with a tour, so we went from the monastery to her hotel to have drinks and dinner, which was an unexpected pleasure.
And today we are heading to Athens today for 12 days.
Prague has been lovely (though hot) and we have definitely been enjoying ourselves. My anxiety has been much less present that it was in the Spring, for which I am very grateful. When we get back from Athens, E's Dad and girlfriend will be coming to stay for a week, which may end up being pretty grim! We shall see. But I'm happy t be heading back to Greece, and will take tons of photos and thoroughly enjoy myself.
