100 seasons celebration

Who knew turning 25 would be so epic?? I was so lucky to have a fabulous birthday (even though it was Friday the 13th this year!) with my students, colleagues and friends here in Prague. I taught a couple of classes, took my post-secondary afternoon class to the zoo, and finished my day off with a picnic in the best Zizkov park in good company.

I took a page out of Wen's book and decided that this year I will make my birthday a week-long event. So I took my last holiday days from work and Melissa and I spent a long weekend in Barcelona- Happy birthday to me!!

I don't even really like animals.

Thanks to my friend Melissa I did something today that I would NEVER have done during my time here in Prague-- I went to the zoo.

(sidenote- the Prague zoo is actually known to be quite a good zoo. I just don't really like animals. Plus zoos always smell.)

I am so glad that Melissa snagged her preschool's season passes for us this weekend. It turned out to be a lovely Sunday afternoon so Matthew, Melissa and I took the tram up to Prague 7 across the river and spent a few hours walking around the zoo grounds.

Can you tell which animal was my favorite??
