Just got back from my little short trip to Prague, Czech Republic with some other friends of mine. First time since a Sramek was there before my great, great grandfather. It was nice to be there. The city is really pretty and the people very friendly.
I was there for a week with fellow Finns / Anmericans / Brits to support our local Girls Salibandy (FLOORBALL – to USA people its like hockey but you play with no skates but run around in shoes) at the 2002 Czech Open.
The team was FINNHITS (Girls Team from Finland). They finished fairly well considering there were over 170 teams there. Unfortunalty the week we left, the worst floods in 150 years to hit Prague, flooding the main square and many other portions of the city, causing much mayhem and destruction for the country, not to mention most of central Europe.
I think this trip will be in my mind for a very long time and I will never forget it. I saw Prague before it flooded and damage was caused. Can’t wait to go to check out what has changed when I go back again for the Czech Open 2003!
more to come soon…
