the only way to listen to music...

...is at night under the stars on a blanket in a field behind a giant amphitheater sipping beer in budapest. it was swell.
seven hours from 2:00 we will step off the train in prague. to begin a whole new set of adventures in a whole new city. it is sad leaveng here now. though we will return in ten days time, many of the students with whom i have become friends, will be going home for summer holiday. exams have just now ended for them, and by friday they must vacate. not all but many i think. so this is farewell. forever? i gess with the internet, no one is ever really gone anymore. just filtered through the pixels of a computer screen. and who knows. maybe someday..
but yes prague will be grand i am certain. it is even cheaper in the worlds beer capital than here (where living is very affordable for americans). i dont know what we will do there exactly. not draw thank goodness, my butt has had just about all it could take sitting on wooden drawing horses for eight hours a day.
everyone is getting along still. one of the girls is getting sick... with something. she went to the doctor. maybe its strep. but the tests havent come back yet. anyway shes been using it as an excuse not to go to lectures, but it doesnt keep her in at night. curious illness this. hopefully it isnt anything serious. for all our sakes.
cameron is such a goofy kid. ive never seen anyone have a more difficult time communicating. today he ordered a kilo of turkey at the grocery store. a kilo. that is a lot of meat. so john and i were laughing at him. i said alright well i guess we dont have to get any meat we will just eat his. we keep shopping but then i think better of it and return to find the girl still stacking meat on the paper, she had to go back in the back to cut some more because there wasnt enough in the window. and he is alternating between german and english trying to tell he he doesnt want that much but not completing a sentence in either language. finally he communicated that he wanted her to take some off, and kept motioning until most of it was gone. she was obviously a little flustered and annoyed. when it was all done, i thanked her in hungarian and apoligized in english and we left. this kind of thing happens everywhere with him. it is hilarious.
