Bennie and the Jet Lag

Jet lag is a bear under normal circumstances. Shepherding two boys through it is a real chore. But we played them hard during those first few days, especially on Sunday: walking to and from the metro and spending 4 hours in the sun at Žluté Lázně, this great swim park down on the east side of the Vltava. I can't really compare Žluté Lázně with anything I know in the States. It wasn't huge, but the children's area had multi-layered pools with slides and fountains. One pool had mini paddle boats and kayaks.

The boys ran and swam and shrieked and romped with other kids for four hours. Even made friends with an English-speaking boy named Lenny.

Garrett practically fell asleep at dinner. Ben? Up until 1:00am.
