We made it to Prague yesterday and took the bullet train to Ostrava today. We're here in Malenovice (Mal-in-o-veet-seh) in the heart of the mountains of Moravia meeting with Europe Worship Link. It's somewhat of a convocation of "worship people" from across the continent. We have met individuals from France, Latvia, Croatia, Holland, Ukraine, US, Ireland, England, and a couple of more I can't recall at the moment.
These next few days should be very interesting and challenging. We've also been asked to lead worship on Saturday morning. That holds interesting challenges in itself -- selecting songs that will easily cross cultural and language boundaries yet be heartfelt and significant.
Travel through the Czech Republic proved to be a bit of work, but it was a lot of fun as well. Fortunately there are many Czechs who know Anglicky (English) and many of the signs within Prague have English. Once outside the city, however, it got to be a bit dicey. But here we are, thanks to the diligence of our non-English speaking taxi driver who was sent to find us at the train station and get us to our hotel.
It was quite a ride. I noticed at one moment in an area marked with a speed limit of 70 km/h we were creeping along at 140. That's like 90 in a 45 in the States.
It's been a long day, so I guess I'll make my way up to our room for the night.
Later...
