Caleb's been back from his bicycle trip to Vienna for a few days now. He had a great time. We found out the root of Sofie's tooth was infected so it's good it was removed. Sofie had her birthday yesterday. We went to Beckiland, an indoor place to play in Prague with another family. She's an Aussi, He's from Duluth, Minnesota and they have two boys, one six and the other just under one. Afterwards, we all went out to eat some Italian food. The restaurant also had an indoor place to play in it and they have a great baby, so it was a very relaxing meal. The older boy, Walter is in Sofie and Anja's art class and they used to live in Bundeena (sp?) where Kathrin (Caleb's mum) lived as a little girl in Australia. So it's a small world after all. Today, the girls are in recovery from their all day intensive play session. Anja's writing a story and Sofie's in her imaginary world outside in the garden. Caleb went to Shakespeare and Sons for a cup of great coffee and the Herald Tribune. Last weekend, while Caleb was gone on his bike trip the girls attended Greek Mythology day which was a six hour Saturday class at the art studio. They made mythological creatures. Sofie made a Kook, which is the mythological creature that seems to be following us around on all of our travels. We learn more about it on an almost daily basis mostly from Caleb and his studies on the giant sea squid?? The Kook fit in nicely with the other creatures which ended up as a mural on the wall of the studio. Most of the children made Medusa as the story was about her. Kook resembles an upside down Medusa. That day was nice for me too as I was able to go to the Narodnie Gallerie modern and contemporary art museum. They had a very impressive collection of French artists works. It strikes me just how many pieces these famous artists have painted or sculpted. Not only the quality, but the quantity is quite amazing. The Czech art was really something to see. It was great and quite different! Darker art mostly though there was some on the lighter side in the deco category especially. There was also an exhibit of Japanese art while I was there, so that really filled up my day off though I was still able to have a lovely lunch and a cup of tea with myself before picking up the children and viewing Kook. The three of us also attended Greek day the following day at Muddum, the art studio where we saw a good movie, ate delicious homemade Greek food and listened to a long but interesting lecture on Greek art by a Greek woman art lover.
