Ever Wondered What Earthworm Tastes Like?

This is my friend Kristin checking out one of the coolest parts of the cathedral in the Prague Castle. There were these huge arches and if you speak into the arch, the person on the other side of this HUGE room could put their ear to the wall and hear you! It was so fun!


This is a view from the castle, which is located on a hill. Wise place to build a castle. But, again, a picture just doesn't do it justice.


These are some of the ladies I was at training with in Virginia. It was such a blessing to get to hang out with them for the week. Good times, good times.


And, more of the ladies I was at training with. Fun!


Ok, this picture definitely needs some explanation. One of the girls brought a bunch of boxes of Harry Potter jellybeans. I don't know if you've heard about these or not, but apparently they have something to do with the books/movies (I've never actually read/seen any of them, although it was required--some may say it was more of a suggested, really--reading for one of my early childhood education classes). There are flavors such as vomit, sausage, black pepper, rotten egg, soap, sardine, ear wax, grass, earthworm, dirt...I'm so not kidding. What's even more ridiculous is that we voluntarily, and for FUN, played a game where you took one out of the box and had to eat it, no matter what. After earthworm, sardine, black pepper and vomit...I was out. I threw in the towel. But, it definitely proved for many laughs and lots of fun!

Ok, gross. I give you props for eating them though! I got to enjoy one of those flavors this week when I was sick... so not sure why you'd voluntarily eat it in a jelly bean form! How fun to catch up with people from training, and visit another new place. You have an awesome experience right now. Enjoy it all!

You are a better woman than me! I would have been out BEFORE eating the first one. Aunt Barb

Ok, we all know what one of those tastes like, but who decides that the flavor is accurate for ear wax, earthworm etc.?

Thanks for sharing your Prague pics! Looks like a good time. I've heard of 3 other people this month planning trips to Prague...must be the 'it' place to go. You're so fashionable. =)
And 'ick' to the HP jellybeans. I've heard of them but not curious enough to actually eat them on purpose! Yuck.
p.s. Kristin has fabulous hair.

I am so glad you had such a great reunion trip to Prague. I've written you an email about it, too. As for the jelly beans, I would love to see some of the places you have, but will settle for Ohio where I subbed this week and we tasted apple, oj, and choc. pudding jelly bellies. So much better.
