Deep Breath

Hi Everyone,

Yes, I am getting all comments. I sincerely appreciate ALL the feedback and support, it is needed and wanted.

First, I want to say I can finally relax as I type this. I found an internet cafe around the corner from the hotel. My computers battery is not working AT ALL, which is so frustrating as it a was working when I first arrived . The keyboard is European which is completely different from ours in U.S.A. Forgive my typos as, the z is where the y should be, I cant find any apostrophes. Im sure my blogging looks the an typographical nightmare. I will not correct it. I want Oprah to see everything as the way it is. I hope it will help her to know how newsworthy this subject really is and how I had to walk 30 minutes to find an internet cafe in the first place. LOL Thats kinda funny.

A little about Zlin. It really is beautiful. Yesterday I walked up an over a bridge and asked a bike shop if they rented rollerblades. He had no idea what I was talking about so he called someone who spoke English. How sweet. The woman he called didnt know what rollerblades were either. In my best mime ever he finally got it. INLINE he said, alas we were on the same page. WHEW for me. But not really as he didnt have any INLINES...boo hoo...everyone inlines here, its complete and utter torture for me. The mothers with their babies rollerblade, everyone is rollerbalding but me....how could this be? What possibly could be the lesson there? Learn how to walk again. Im not getting this one. REALLY not getting this one.

So the pavement leads along a beautiful river with overgrown grass. Complete with dandilions, and dead ones. You know the dandilions that die and then you make a wish and blow them in the wind. Anyone from Ohio or the midwest knows exactly what Im talking about Smile .
This river and the atmosphere reminds me of metroparks, except this river flows through some type of projects. But really nice projects. Everyone hangs their clothes to dry from the window. Even at the hotel I dont think they use a dryer as the towls feel like sandpaper. Ok ok not sandpaper, but definately scratchy. This area is very family oriented. Like I said, everyone is either riding bikes or ROLLERBLADING. One thing interesting today on my walk, was a large horn like alarm for the whole city to here. It must be an alarm from way back when the Nazis were invading. Im sure that is was it was, kinda like a fire drill but not really. In any case, I feel very safe here. The air is soo fresh and very springlike. No Nazis at all. Smile

Tomorrow is a holiday here. Everything will be closed. I probably wont be able to blog, but I will catch up with you guys on Friday. Second doctors appointment Friday 8 a.m. Dont forget we are 6 hours ahead. So when you guys are dreaming about my arrival, I will be walking, not Skating, next to the river, up and towards the mountains, looking and asking for the lesson that really brings me to this place so far from my home.

They are charging me an arm and a leg to use this internet, so I must go.....tty on Friday.

Love zou alll.....
