Carnival!
So Mich and I returned from getting Rachel to the airport about a half hour ago. I’m glad she came and now I can’t wait to visit her in Amsterdam. We didn’t do anything too out of the ordinary (eat Czech food, drink Czech beer, and look at old buildings) except for our outing to a carnival in a small town outside of Prague. We took a train and 15 minutes later we were in a small town where everyone was decked out in face paint and costumes. We weren’t even there for 5 minutes before someone came up to us and started painting our faces (pictures will come soon).
At the carnival I noticed that people here are not nearly as concerned about kidnapping. I saw many unattended strollers and wandering toddlers. They should be more careful, especially if they choose to dress them in cute animal costumes and snowsuits…we almost took one home with us.
Speaking of children, I’ve formulated a project for myself. Today I decided to start working on a series of photographs of children on public transportation. It seems like everyday I run into a new wide-eyed, snowsuit clad, mitten wearing, Czech speaking little thing that I think its time I start keeping track of them- in the least creepy way possible. Bottome line: kids are just cute when they are so bundled in warm clothes they can barely move.
So, enough about me. What about you? (If anyone actually reads this blog). How’s life been? I wanna know.
