Things are looking up

First of all, the little birdies seem to be getting big very quickly.  We were wondering just when they will actually fly from the nest, since the feather count has been escalating as of late.   Not so great for us allergen prone people.  We've got the notion that they'll leave when we do, which won't be of much help to us.

I have to keep this very short as we had a very full day yesterday and didn't get back until late.
We met Anna's husband, Josef, on Saturday and he invited us to tag along today on a trip to Brno.  So, Anna, Amy and I skipped out on Conversation practice and headed out with them for an absolutely delightful afternoon and evening.

The family has rented a vacation home nearby, so they even brought us there where we were greeted with this wonderful dinner.  It is on University grounds where there is an observatory and we went on a twilight tour of the facility.  It was quite fascinating, and I'd love to share some more details later.

The man in the observatory who showed us around was so taken with our attention that he told us that we could come back during the day and walk about 100 meters into the woods to see the place where they measure the magnetic field of the earth.  There is apparently a completely demagnetized structure there, but someone stole the roof, as it was made of copper.

But, more about that later.  I've got to read over my notes prior to class.  Dovidenia.
