So much for updating my blog frequently ...sorry everyone! I am typing this from my phone so it won't be a long post (I will be without my computer for a couple weeks while we travel).
So much has happened! We had a wonderful few days in Pilsen. The language barrier is much more difficult than I anticipated though. It actually led to some confusion which resulted in a bit of trouble with law enforcement...oops. It's a long story, so I will fill you in when I have a keyboard in front of me. (Now I have you hooked! See how I did that?)
We have spent one night in Estonia so far. It has been truly incredible. I am really missing the rest of my family right now-they should be seeing what I'm seeing and learning about our history.
We received a very warm welcome from my father's cousin and his family at the airport, and we spent hours at their house eating delicious food and drinking wine. Thankfully most of them speak English, but they are obviously much more comfortable with Estonian. It is so strange to hear my dad fluently chatting in this foreign language. He seems to have no problem remembering the language of his youth. He is so clearly in his element, and I feel really blessed to see this side of my dad.
Sisters-you always ask me about the food so here is an update: :) Czech food is not my favorite so far. Lots of gravy, bread, and meat. And beer- no surprise there! However, the groceries are very cheap, and there is plenty of fresh produce. Estonia is more up my alley with lots of fish, vegetables, fruit, and delicious espresso.
I will post pictures when I have my laptop. We have seen some things that look like they are from a fairy tale! Feeling so blessed and wishing everyone back home could come see what I'm seeing! Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. Until next time!
