Hello all. Today was the last class (and last field trip) for my Jewish Studies Class. One final, two Jewish cemetery visits, and a lot of sweating later, I am all done with class for the summer! The final was very straightforward- I believe I did quite well. We took it near our apartment at a beautiful park right by a nice farmer's market- a little distracting, yes, but I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. Afterward, we all headed over to the Old Jewish cemetery (it is right by the creepy baby tower)- it was quite an interesting experience! From there, we went to the New Jewish cemetery. This one was in a different part of town and had both very new and very old graves. Franz Kafka, Ota Pavel, and a few other really well-known people are buried there so it was very neat to be able to see their graves. Once the field trip was over, I was BEAT. I am just so tired. However, Julia, Sara, and I went to grab some food, sitting together for a while in a little local sandwich shop. We all then headed home- it has been quite a long day. Later tonight, Julia and I will likely go out to either watch the sunset, get ice cream, or do something with Marc- most of our nights end like this and I love it. Last Wednesday in Prague and it was very nice. Love to all, until next time.
