Today, we had a great opportunity to hear some live music. On a small island of the Vltava River, we visited an international music festival, United Islands. Bands played in several locations. So, you could cycle between different styles of music. Two noteworthy artists include a gypsy band (a very different blend of music) and a mashpit style hard rock band. Although the term “band” is a bit misleading (they had a DJ and one singer) it was still a blast. While walking around we stopped by a Greenpeace stand on the river. Basically, people crawled into a giant walk-in balloon that floated on the river. It was large enough to stand in, which made for great entertainment when the user tried to run, soon finding themselves flat on their back.
On Sunday, the Berlin crew came back exhausted from traveling, but in good spirits. Some of us saw a chateau in the morning. The chateau was filled with stuffed animals, (at least a thousand). In the courtyard, I saw a peacock for the first time. As luck would have it, the bird showed off its feathers for our group to see. Afterwards, we joined the Berlin crew and used the afternoon for a happy nap or to just relax and await Monday classes.
