Just came from Millenium, with a brand new haircut. Turns out the mob had to leave town in a hurry and they sold the place to a wonderful Czech girl in her 20s. I met her today and she gave me a fantastic new hair cut. The bangs are shorter, it's a bit more fluffy and I'm quite happy. I love getting hair cuts, especially good haircuts.

We had our last Czech class this morning with Jiri. He brought a guitar and a harmonica! He sangs the songs he taught us last week and a couple more. Molly, Lisa and I cheered when he started to sing "How many roads must a man walk down..." Jiri also played a song by a Czech Bob Dylan, a song by Olympic called "Bonsoir Mademoiselle Marie" and a song by the Pogues. It was quite wonderful, and we all took pictures. Afterwards, we rode the tram down to the Old Castle to enjoy the view. He lives not far from there, and has actually lived in that part of Prague his entire life. I took a lot of great photos today. I can't wait to make an album full of pictures and postcards and things.

Lisa, Jenny, Katka and I went shopping for gifts this afternoon. I picked up a lovely crystal ashtray that only the most expensive, grand cigarettes may be stubbed out in. Hah. I'm searching for a scary vodnik puppet, but today I only saw silly ones. I need a scary puppet. Tomorrow I'm going to check out the toystores around the Castle.

Happy Fourth of July to all my American friends. I'm off to drink something American and see if the embassy will shoot off fireworks tonight...
