Reading Time

Not much to report today. It has been raining here in CK since last
night, so we took this time to do absolutly nothing. We have eaten
and we have read quite alot, and thats about it. I just finished Mark
Twains "Tramp Abroad" and Bethany is working on Steven Kings "The Dead
Zone".
We are a pretty exciting couple eh?
But it is sunday, and not alot is open on sundays in Europe. At least
that is the excuse we are telling ourselves.
It looks like it could stay raining till Wed. which would be a shame.
But if thats the case, we will just enjoy the rain.

We saw the London explosions while we were still in Austria, and still
had a TV. Very tragic, but it hasn't really impacted our trip thus
far. We talked to a man from the UK on a train and he said it was
shocking but not surprising that it happened. He also said that all
but one of the train stations were up and running with really minimal
delays.

An interesting side note-- there is alot of rafting and what not down
the river, as afore mentioned. Well last night we were returning home
when we saw an overturned canoe which had spilled out its contents and
these items were now floating down the river. A man near the water
stripped down to his underwear jumped into the water, and saved the
packages from continuing down the stream. But upon returning to dry
land he proceeded to remove his underwear as well so as to put on his
pants without getting them wet. But for awhile he was unabashedly
completely nude, in full view of a great deal of people, including us.
Just a slightly odd thing to see after dinner in the Czech Republic.
