First Frost

"It's gotta have four seasons" - something we said a lot a year ago in Muscat as we were looking at possibilities for our next post. With the first frost earlier this week, I think we've officially moved into our second season here in Prague! As with anything cold that's not in a freezer (or in a super-cooled indoor ski park), frost on the grass outside was a real novelty for Jad and Danna. So much so that they reacted in record time - pulling on boots, hats and coats and rushing out to see this new thing before it melted away!

Our Fall here in Prague is definitely beginning to feel a bit wintry - in fact, the forecast for this weekend calls for scattered snow showers - something we're all looking forward to seeing! It certainly calls for a few more layers of clothing on the morning bike commute to work! Fortunately, thanks to the wonders of the Internet, I recently received a shipment of cold weather biking gear. Gussied up in gloves, polypropylene Long Johns, a long sleeve biking jersey, a rain coat, a wool hat under my helmet and set of black tights, I head out the door for my 25 minute ride to work each morning.

Cooler weather outside means even more fun inside - check out some of the new videos on the left side of our blog for dance moves, fancy headgear, wrestling Taytas, and more!
