Myrtle Beach to Prague

January of last year, Leos and I went to Myrtle Beach for a conference he was attending.  He met a lot of people there and two happen to be from Germany.  One lives in Frankfurt and the other in Barcelona.  Leos had been keeping in contact with them this entire time and the two Germans and one of the wives of the men, decided it was time to meet up again, so they came to Prague.  Leos spent all of Friday with them and Amaya and I joined them on Saturday.  We started off with a nice brunch near Charles Bridge and then I showed them all around the area.  They got to see a lot in a short amount of time.  We even managed to go to the peacock park for Amaya.  The next time we will all meet will be in Frankfurt and the time after that will be in Barcelona.

Chuchle Horse Racing

Leos and I have been wanting to go to the race track for several years, but never managed to go.  A few days ago he saw an advert on TV mentioning that there were races on Saturday and that they would have a kids area. We thought Amaya would enjoy it, so we finally made plans to go.  The weather looked a bit tricky, but the set up was really good at Chuchle.  Even if it rains, you can watch the races and not get wet.  It rained several times in the day, but we never got wet.  Amaya enjoyed the rabbit area and the play area, but the horse racing was a bit difficult for her to see.  Since we were at the races, I figured I should bet on at least one race.  I made a bet that the favored jockey would come in 1st or 2nd. He came in first, so I got some money.  I'm surprised that Leos didn't bet at all!  It was a fun day at the races, but I think the next time we will go is when Amaya is a bit older.
