Susice - Day 1

I got a very good sleep tonight for pretty much the first time since getting to Europe. Unfortunately I seem to have caught Stuart's cold. I told him I didn't think I'd catch due to my strong immune system. It appears as though I was wrong. I've had a runny nose and a bit of a sore throat for the past couple fo days. On Saturday morning, Jakub took me to the town museum, where I learned mostly about Susice's prime export - matches. After a simply delicious lunch of pork that Ruza made, we headed off to Katka's farm. It is in a poor state, and as Katka says, needs much renovation. Eventually they plan to have a fully functional farm there, but now pretty much just have a few animals. We returned to the house, and I rested for a couple of hours. Later that evening me and Jakub went to a restaurant for pizza and then went bowling. Despite not having played for years, I did better than expected and won three of the four games we played. Jakub has been given the task of being my personal escort for the entire weekend, and in a way I feel a bit awkward that he is going so far out of his way to help me, because I know he'd rather do other things. I am extremely grateful though.
