I'll Never Let Go
Leon will arrive in Prague today, and he and I will take the night train to Krakow Thursday night. Caroline and Jirka will not be joining us, because Caroline is very sick with a kidney infection. She has taken the entire week off from work so she can rest--doctor's orders.
I spent most of yesterday with her, lying in her big bed and watching movies, including Titanic. Two of her roommates just graduated from film school and we just knew that one of them was going to walk in on us while Rose was "flying!" or we were belting out "My Heart Will Go On" over the end credits. Thankfully we were spared, but it would've felt like getting caught looking at porn.
Earlier, we were watching Hello, Dolly! and Asger wandered in to watch Barnaby, Cornelius, et al. put on their Sunday clothes in all their Technicolor glory. He's far too polite to cast judgment but it was easy to see that he was incredibly amused.
We may have earned back some of our film cred, though, by watching Hedwig and the Angry Inch with him. Maybe.
Anyway, I really hope that Leon has a good time while he's visiting. I'm actually quite nervous about showing him around. I really want him to like Prague as much as I do, and I want him to have a better understanding of me because of it. At the very least, I hope we can navigate through the sea of other tourists easily and painlessly. After spending a day in Old Town last week, I know that will be an incredible challenge.
