First Road Trip

After playing in our third EWHL game last Saturday, and beating the Vienna Flyers 10-1, we hit the road for our first road trip. It was also our first game in the Czech league. We drove to Litvinov a smaller town northwest of Prague. The drive was pretty nice granted I slept most of the way. Kind of nice to finally be traveling back on coach buses instead of small little European vans which I rode in last year in Switzerland. So far the country side reminds me of Wisconsin...lots of trees, hills and rocks...very pretty! Actually a girl on our team is originally from Litvinov and was giving me a little bit of a background on it. There are two huge chemical power plants in Litvinov, it actually looked like the plant that you would see Homer Simpson working at. Kind of scary really. Panchy, the girl who grew up there, said that when she was little they would sometimes have to wear masks walking out side. I guess this was during the communism days, and things have changed considerable. But it was funny to play a team called Chemopetrol. We won again, 10-0, ouch I know, but they were at least the most skilled team we have played so far.

In other news, Chelsa and I finally got our bed...Yeah!! We took another trip out to Ikea, I'm getting to know that store really well. We also picked up a wardrobe for Sara so she can finally have a place to put her clothes. You may wonder why it is a big thing to get a wardrobe as you would think that we would have closets in the flat. Well apparently Europe or at least Switzerland and the Czech Republic have not heard closets, cause I sure have not seen them. I wonder the reasoning behind this?
