Dolni Morava

For a while I had seen information about the longest suspension bridge (Sky Bridge 721) being built in the Czech Republic.  I thought that it was already built, so I thought it would be a great place to visit for the Easter Holidays.  We got to the location and found out we needed to take a ski lift up to the top.  While getting the lift ticket we found out that the bridge will be completed next month.  It was a bit of a disappointment, but we were already in the area, so we decided to go up the view tower.  It was an incredible viewing tower. The structure of it was really amazing.  The views were great and we could see the suspension bridge in the distance. There weren't that many people there because it was quite cold and it was almost closing time for the tower.  After the viewing tower we decided to take the Alpine Coaster down the hill because it is the second longest in Europe (3km long with speeds of max 50km/hr).  I wasn't expecting that much from it, but it was AWESOME!!  We were able to go really fast and control our speed.  I'm so glad we decided to go down the mountain with it.

Birthday Celebration

Just in time for my birthday, my friend was able to get Chris Hemsworth's autograph for me.  The picture is from an advertisement I passed by every day for 2 weeks while I was living in Australia in 2016. One day I will be able to get him to actually wear the glasses!  My students surprised me for my birthday at their house when I had a lesson with them.  Their mother made a delicious cake and they gave me a nice present.  In the evening my mom made California rolls and tempura for my birthday dinner.  It has been a long time since I have been with my parents on my birthday.  It was nice to be with them.  They also bought me a delicious cake.  The next day, my friend Laura took me out to lunch.  We had a nice lunch next to the Charles Bridge.  On Sunday I went to the opera with my mom and my friend Alessandra.  It was an interesting opera.  Then on Monday I walked around a bit in Praha with my mom.  It was a nice birthday weekend celebration!  Thanks for all the birthday wishes from around the world.
