Last Day in Prague

Mommy decided to let me sleep in with Hello Kitty on Monday. We had our own Hello Kitty room inside Sara’s flat – it looks like a suitcase. It was cozy. Mommy said something about people at work not understanding a woman her age toting a bear like Louie around…..that sounded funnny.

Mommy learned about the Velvet Revolution. This year marks the 15th anniversary. Something about rebelling against Communism.

We took Louie with us to Prague…met up with our Medill buddy Sara and she let us stay in here flat.

We figured Louie would be better adapted to the cold weather…in the 30s….and it snowed on Sunday and Monday. Louie’s from St. Louis and he grew-up with penguins…he knows about cold weather…
