They were originally going to follow the county (2 hr. early dismissal) but today we had some party thing for the seniors (a going away party, I guess?) so the rest of the school was supposed to come in at 10:30. They figured, school for 2 hours? Not worth it.

some really dirty areas and like all of europe, tons of pickpockets. pretty cool place to hang out in tho.

I was traveling with one of my other girl friends, and we both weren’t treated great when we went into a few restaurants, and she in particular was harassed a couple times when we tried to go off the beaten path. I mean, the city is really beautiful, but there’s really clear delineations of where tourists can be and where they can’t be. Not sure if that makes sense… also, we had spent a week prior to that in Budapest, where the whole city felt very inviting, and we liked wandering around and trying to find places to eat and such on our own. If you wandered into a random restaurant in Prague you got yelled at or ignored. Still, again, beautiful city.

Hopefully I don’t end up drinking them all… I’ll have to be rolled out of the house on Sunday

I considered doing that before I enrolled in the day school that does the trip to Israel. I actually went with my family two (three?) passovers ago. We were originally going to go the summer before, but the war with Hezbollah broke out and much of our trip was in the north—in other words, big NO.

The problem with going during Pesach is, while you can at least eat out, the food is terrible. The restaurants in Jerusalem weren’t that bad, but I’m glad I’ll be able to go and eat real food when I’m there—at least for a time because we spend Pesach in Israel too.

How long is Birthright?
