Praha, meu irmão!

After the Coastal Dynamics exam I went to Prague!  Marcio and Aline went as well, and we had a good week of nice parks, beautiful city, and delicious (cheap) beer and food.

Me at the Atomic Clock!

Overlooking the city's may bridges

Me with Dvorak (the composer; see New World Symphony)

There was a big fair on the market square for Easter,
and they had a bunch of booths making these: Trdelnik!
They're rolled dough covered in butter & cinnamon.  Yum!

Statues on the Charles Bridge at sunset

Look!  He's holding the Praha Castle!

Penguins leading ships through the lock

Praha Castle by night

Travelers overlooking the city

Attendants waiting for the 4 horsemen...

Marcio riding a giant anteater!

They have this there, too!  It's just spelled funny...

Gates to the Praha Castle.
This says "Mess with the Czechs, and you will die a cruel and vicious death."

After Prague I had to return to Delft to take another exam (this one in Probabilistic Design for Engineers).  Once again, it took some studying, but it wasn't too bad once I got to it.

The next thing on the horizon is Queen's Day (30 April), which is a day of live music, beer, and street food in Amsterdam!
