Music
Thanks to Alasdair Bouch (www.myspace.com/myalasdair) and his mellowy jazzy soul sound, I had some good tunes to guide me through the heatwave at the beginning of the month. Alasdair's performance at The Fringe Festival (www.praguefringe.com/2010/) started out the month on a good and groovy foot.Museums
June is one of the months I always look forward to because it brings Muzejni Noc/Museum Night (www.prazskamuzejninoc.cz/2010/). I've blogged about this annual event every year because every year it impresses me. The city organizes for the museums to be open 7pm to 1am on a Saturday evening, as well as free public transport and live entertainment. It's quite literally a city wide party. We waited until sundown and went to check out the Jewish Quarter's offering of breathtaking synagogues.

(www.jewishmuseum.cz/cz/czspanish.htm)In Kbely, a little suburb of Prague sits the Aviation Museum, run by the Czech Military. (www.vhu.cz/en/stranka/letecke-muzeum/) There are several Military museums around Prague- all of which H. and I have wondered through over the years. But of course the Aviation Museum holds a place close to our hearts. (Mostly because H. loves airplanes and I love him...and history!)
Team Building
Kids maybe counting the minutes down to when they are free for the summer, but in the adult education world teaching has no breaks. However, we at The Villa (www.thevilla.cz) did decide to celebrate the summer with a climb and a pint at Gutovka Park (www.gutovka.cz) in Prague 10.
Their climbing wall fits all levels, including we beginners. The instructors were helpful, thorough and made what could be a stressful situation motivating and relaxed.
