Morning for my american flist.
Prague has turned overcast, cold and rainy/snowy. Which bothers me not at all, as I haven't stepped foot outside the hotel for almost three days. Tonight we have an event at the Zofin Palace, and that promises to be a good time, but exhausting, since my company is organizing and running it. So my day will likely go from 5:30am to midnight. I bypassed my forty hour work week this morning at 8:30am. And it is only Tuesday. Yikes!
Sadly, I am not an hourly employee, so that doesn't mean much except I am working far too much (and sleeping far too little). I love the money here, it is very pretty - and the coins go in interesting increments - half-a-crown, 1 crown, two crown, five crown, ten crown, twenty crown, and fifty crown. The bills start at 100 crown and go to 200 crown, 500 crown, 1000 crown and above (although, since I didn't get anything bigger than the 1000 crown, I can't say what they look like.
There are about 21 crowns to the US dollar, so 100 crowns is (roughly) about $5.
And since I am burbling on about nothing in particular, I think I'll stop. The staff got chocolate covered strawberries this morning, maybe I'll get myself another water, and have one... White chocolate or milk chocolate. Decisions decisions!

We asked more for fruit than pasteries and cookies - and the fruit they have brought is sinful enough! Besides, the cookies are just okay... they don't use as much sugar, and they are kinda dry. Actually kind of hard as a rock and dry. Fruit is better.
Tomorrow I have the afternoon and evening off - so hopefully I'll be able to shop and sight see a bit more! Hopefully it won't be too cold.
