Tired all the time

I'm doing a little better today...although I still feel a bit out of it. We went on a day trip today to tour two castles in small towns outside of Prague. First thing to note is that castles are not heated. These tours were by far the two coldest tours I have ever taken...including the tour I went on in an underground cave! But, they were still really interesting; I learned some cool facts. The second castle also had a wine tour available, which we went on. :) The castle was somehow associated with wine making back in the day and they continue it today. The only thing about today that could have been a little better were the tours. On one tour, the guide spoke a halting English, and the second guide didn't speak English at all. Our program leader had to translate, and her English was only so-so. I think I could have taken a lot more information away from the tours had they spoken better English. However, I am thankful that we got guides that did actually speak English well enough to convey the basics.

I figured out how to plug in my room phone, so that is up and running. I also have a cell phone now from which I can text the US for the same rates that it costs to text internationally. Pretty good deal, I think. Next on the list...which probably won't happen till Thursday...is to get the Internet in my room hooked up. Then I will be well on my way to a successful semester.
