Maria & Brett's HUGE Trip 06-07-08-09-? ok, so the Socceroos lost in 'that' penalty against Italy; Adriatic summers aren't long enough (bliss!); and we found that you should never use the term "Eastern Bloc" when talking to a Czech (Central Europe, please).

Czech Rep - Halloween

Czech Republic | Saturday, November 11, 2006 | 11 photos

Our first American halloween - in the Czech Republic. Makes perfect sense! A friend of ours, Jess, had a pumpkin carvin' party at her place with the requirement that everyone comes in costume. So we dug into our wardrobe and pulled out our supporters gear from the World Cup (due to a severe lack of Halloween inspired fashion. We have vowed to carry a spare broom and witches hat with us at all times in the future!). A wonderful night of 'jack o' lantern' carving, hot cider (a little heavy on the rum - but no complaints here!) and meeting people from around the world - at least from America and some lovely kids from Greece.
