Sorry I haven't written in a while. It has been kinda the same ole, same ole. Cold, lots of snow...you get the picture. Last we we had a bit of a warm snap. It was in the 40's and 50's. The Czechs kept telling me it was like Spring. I told them it was like Winter in Texas. They thought that was crazy. This past weekend I went to a ples in Sokolov. It's kind of like prom and graduation together, but not anything like them either. It was a unique experience. My school's ples is at the end of March. I'll take plenty of pictures so you can see. It was a lot of fun. Gotta run and teach a class. Jessica
