Snow and other things

We got somewhere between six and eight inches of snow over the past few days. Everyone has been raving about how gorgeous Prague is in the snow, and I was inclined to agree with them for the first few hours that the snow was actually sticking to the ground. A day later, the snow has turned into half-melted New York-esque sludge, and I feel like I'm back in the city. It's a good thing my boots are waterproof.

I'm slowly adjusting to being here, although I'm starting to wonder when I'll be brave enough to eat out somewhere that isn't one of the vegetarian restaurants we found by campus. We've got a few big cooking projects in mind though (goulash, lasagna (with GF noodles!) that kind of thing...) so I'm definitely able to get by without going out, if I want.

Tomorrow we're going to Kutna Hora, which starts my next few weekends of traveling. The 3 weekends after that it's Western Bohemia, Budapest, and then (tentatively) Vienna, which should be exciting, but I'm going to be exhausted by the end of February. Budapest is definite now though, which is something else to look forward to.
