Detsky Den (children's day)
June 1st is Detsky Den here in the Czech Republic. We went with some friends to a nearby village, Olesnik, to their Detsky Den svatek (celebration). The celebration was held at Rebekah's friend Veronika's school. There were many games that the children could play to earn candy and a spinning wheel like roulette where they could win prizes. Of course, we were the only English speaking people there, but we were with our friends, Michal and Dasa, and our girls hung out with their friends,Veronika and Natalka, and they helped them understand what was going on. After the games there was a clown (klaun) show. It was pretty funny and I bet it would have been funnier if we spoke Czech better. The clown act was pretty long and the majority of it was about King Hubert and Princess Krystina, who was sad about her lunch (I think). Danny almost passed out because it was so hot in the room where we were. Then there was a big bonfire for roasting sausages (klobasa). It was really fun and a good experience for all of us (and an awesome Czech language lesson)
