Birthday BBQ 27. 4. 2014

Every year for a few years now I organize BBQ in park with friends to help me celebrate my birthday. This year the weather didn't look that great so we invited everybody to our small patio in our apartment. The weather was great in the end, and we had great time.

Mexico 12. - 19. 4. 2014

This year spring break we decided to go to Mexico. Through Groupon we got accommodation in Cancun for 5 nights, but because I can't spend my vacation only on a beach we stopped in Mexico city for two nights on the way there. Mexico city has this bad reputation of being dangerous place, but walking around the city center felt safe. We arrived to Cancun on Monday, but except for the first day and last day there wasn't much sitting on a beach time. We took bus to city of Cancun and walked around (we stayed in the area with just hotels), tour to Chichen Itza, sailing with snorkeling, and cenote tour. The week went by fast!

Tento rok jsme jeli na jarni prazdniny do Mexica. Pres Groupon (akcni ceny pres Internet) jsme ziskali ubytovani v Cancunu na 5 noci, ale protoze ja nedokazu stravit moji dovolenou jen na plazi, po ceste jsme se zastavili v Mexico City na dve noci. Mexico city ma spatnou povest nebezpecneho mesta, ale prochazeni centra mesta pusobilo docela bezpecne. Do Cancunu jsme prijeli v pondeli, ale krome prvniho a posledniho dne moc casu na plazi nebylo. Jeli jsme autobusem do mesta Cancun (zustavali jsme v oblasti, kde byly jen hoteli), jeli jsme na vylet do Chchen Itza, plachtili jsme a snorkovali, a jeli jsme na vylet k cenote. Tyden utekl velice rychle!

Van Vleck 29.3. 2014

I went to Van Vleck couple years ago and it was the first hut trip I did. The Van Vleck hut is very well equipped and I was looking forward going back. This winter wasn't much of snow, but the Saturday we were going the weather forecast wasn't great. There were a few things that didn't go that well. We started later than I intended; it was raining in the beginning, but snowing later, and not everybody took snowshoes; and not everybody was fit enough. When we reached winter bad weather shelter, we discussed if we should turn around or continue. First, all of us agreed to keep going, but when we started to get ready for next section, few people decided to turn around. Splitting group into two didn't sound like good idea so we all went back. Maybe next year we will try again.

Ja jsem byla v chate Van Vleck pred nekolika lety a byl to muj prvni vylet na tento typ chat. Chata Van Vleck je dobre vybavena a tak jsem se tesila az se do ni zase podivam. Tuto zimo nebylo mnoho snehu, ale v sobotu, kdy jsme vyrazeli predpoved pocasi nebyla moc dobra. Par veci se nevydarilo jak melo. Vysli jsme pozdeji nez jsem chtela, na zacatku prselo, ale zacalo snezit pozdeji, ne vsichni meli sneznica a ne kazdy byl dostatecne fit. Kdyz jsem dosli do pristresi, ktere slouzi pro pripad spatneho pocasi, rozhodovali jsem se, jestli pujdeme dale a nebo se otocime. Nejdrive vsichni souhlasili, ze pujdeme dale, ale kdyz jsem se chystali vyjit dal, tak se par lidi rozhodlo otocit. Rozdeleni skupiny nebyl dobry napad a tak jsem vsichni sli zpet. Snad pristi rok to zkusime znovu.

Amy and Eric's wedding - Napa 22. 3. 2014

 This weekend we were supposed to be in Yosemite skiing towards Glacier point hut. For lack of snow the trip was cancelled. This was not good news, but since we were able to attend Amy and Eric's wedding instead, it wasn't such a bad weekend in the end. They got married in Napa, with about 200 guests as witnesses. It was beautiful venue and since we were in the area, and the wedding finished around 3 pm, we managed to visit one other winery and did some wine tasting.

Tento vikend jsme meli byt v Yosemitech a lyzovat smerem k chate Glacier point. Pro nedostatek snehu byl nas vylet zruzen, ale jelikoz jsme misto toho sli na svatbu Amy a Erica, tak to nakonec nebyl tak spatny vikend. Vzali se v Nape, s asi 200 hosty jako svedky. Byla to moc pekna udalost a jelikoz jsme byli v oblasti, a svatba skoncila kolem 15h, stihli jsme jeste navstivit jednu vinici a ochutnat dalsi vino.

Glass class 15. 3. 2014

Eric likes to work with glass so after taking one glass blowing class we decided for another glass class This time it was in smaller scale. First we did some torch work, then moved to work with colored glass and in the end we learned how to cut glass and learn about fuzing glass. We were able to take home the first two projects, but we had to wait for the bowls to arrive for about week and a half.

Eric rad pracuje se sklem a tak po jednom kurzu foukaneho skla jsme se rozhodli zkusit dalsi kurz se sklem. Tentokrat to bylo v mensim meritku. Nejdrive jsem pracovali s horakem, pak se presunuli k pracovani s barevnym sklem a nakonec jsem se ucili jak rezat sklo a slucovat sklo. Prvni dva vyrobky jsme si mohli vzit hned domu, ale na treti misticky jsme museli asi tyden a pul pockat.
