Jeret in Prague!

So my brother made it safely to Prague thank goodness. He had a rough start as the night before he left he didn't exactly sleep since he was working his night shift as a firefighter. Then he flew overnight to Prague and missed another night's sleep. But he was a trooper and came to practice with us that same day...then slept for 14 hours to catch up.

We had games that first weekend he was here, actually they were the start of our Czech Championship final series. It was awesome to have him there watching and taking pictures...he was the first family member to see me play overseas in about three years so it was really awesome to have him at the game. The year before I had given him a Slavia jersey so he was wearing it at my game and some other fans mistaked him for being a Czech and started talking to him...really funny situation as he knows zero Czech.

My superfan!!


My bro and I after the game.

The following week he was there we did a ton of touring around the city. Went on a couple of organized tours along with me showing him around as much as I could. Went to all our favourite restaurants, hung out with my roommates and of course Jeret being the wine lover that he is, went to the local wine bar a block from my house. The Czech Republic isn't really known for their wine, beer is their thing, but none the less we would head out to the wine bar and Jeret would try all the local favourites. The wine/beer is really cheap so Jeret really enjoyed that aspect. The guy who owned the store didn't exactly speak English so my Czech was really stretch as I was trying to translate for Jeret what he wanted and I don't exaclty have all the wine lingo down.

One night I was able to get us tickets through our owner to a Slavia men's game. This means VIP tickets, aka all you can eat and drink. All the roommates went and we had just an awesome time, minus the fact that Slavia lost. But the game and atmosphere were great since it was a play off game, one of the highlights for sure.

Jeret left the following Saturday and missed the second round of my games, but it was still pretty neat as he was able to overlap with my parents since they flew in on Thursday morning, but that's a whole other blog...

Catching Up....

I just saw that I haven't blogged since February, just before my brother was coming...wow that's a long time ago but my last couple of months just flew by! I will do my very best to catch up on everything that is if you haven't stopped looking at my blog competely. None the less I would like this for my memories as well. So here she goes...
