the jewish quarters

today was a pretty mellow day. we got a slow start to the day as olive let the family sleep in until 900am. we ate our usual vegan breakfast as the castle steps restaurant (who needs bacon... we do! we do!). and then took the trolley across the river to the jewish quarters. small, narrow cobble stone streets. lots of great old buildings and churches. made for a great day of wandering. and what says jewish quarter more than thaifood? we found a small little thai place and couldn't resist. it was wonderful although it gave all three of us gas for the rest of the day and evening. jen is convinced that anything that she eats that is spicy goes directly into her breast milk and makes olive gassy. i think she says that just to draw attention away from her own gas.

our wandering eventually took us back to the old town. the square was packed with people. live czech music and meat on sticks.

we ended the night by taking the tram around town (and getting lost in the process) in search of diapers. our limited russian actually comes in handy here. many folks (especially the older ones) speak russian. i think the two languages are fairly similar anyway. we finally found diapers in a tesco store located inside of huge mall called my narodi. we also bought some cereal and lunch meat from the grocery store there so we can save some money (it is so expensive here) by eating in.

dinner ended up being scrabbled eggs with ham tortilla rolls.
