Saturday was a very easy going day. Got up a fairly reasonable time (9am) and Jodi and I took the metro to Mustek to look around a wander the streets of Old and New Town. We went to tons of shops on the main road and found a lot cool stores and some nice little boutiques. We found an international bookstore with English books and they have JAMES PATTERSON!! Not quite done with the two I brought with me but pretty soon I will being paying a visit to the 6 story bookstore. Next to the bookstore was a 7 floor shoe store! Jodi and I spent a long time in here, it was so overwhelming and the different styles and trends here. After the main road we turned down a side road and stumbled upon a bunch of street vendors selling Prague souvenirs, fruit, sausages, crepes, paintings, leather bags and table linens. At about 2pm we found a restaurant and ate great pasta dishes, they were more Italian than Czech. We then went back to the street vendors and got crepes, Nutella and banana is the way to go!! We sat on a curb and people watched for about an hour making up stories and histories for the people walking by and trying to guess where they were from and what their purpose for being in Prague was. I guess you could say we were very easily amused. When we got back Angela finally was able to get the key to the laundry room and we did about 5 loads of laundry in the smallest dryer in the world, it took so long. But we have clean clothes that don't smell like the smoky bars and the European metro stations. Once laundry was done we went to the grocery store to get supplies for dinner. Angela, Jodi, Eric, Dearon and I all made dinner in my room. We made fried eggs in tomatoes, broccoli, and rice. The fried eggs in tomatoes is a Greek dish we found in the Greek cookbook Angela bought in Greece. Its basically the same concept as stuffed peppers and it was very very good and cheap. The dinner all cost us about 75 cents per person!!! Since we didn't eat until about 11pm we decided to stay in and just sit around the dinner table and talk. It was a very nice change of pace. I just got back from a run and explored the other side of the campus! It reminds me of the East Side of Providence but the big houses are apartments, but very nice apartments. The it was very peaceful and quiet and a beautiful area to run in. It was nice to get away from the busy part of the city. Well I am off to cook an omelet with what i think is ham...looks close enough. Then I am off to Tesco in Mustek to get some school supplies!
