Really?!?!

September 21, 2009

Today we arrived in Prague early in the morning after a horrible nights’ sleep aboard the “most dangerous train in Europe.”  I think I woke up every time the train slowed down.  Plus the cabin next to us had an amazing snorer who could be heard through the wall.  Suffice it to say, I was not in top form, appearance-wise or mental state-wise.  After dropping our luggage off we heading into town.  I needed to eat so we stopped at a café for a quick bite.  Megan had disappeared, to take a picture most likely.  Two men sat down at the table next to me and I heard them speaking English with what I thought was an American accent.  It turned out to be Canadian, but same thing anyway right?  Anyway, it bears mentioning that they were both at least 40.  So we chatted for a little while about what we each did and such.  Then one of the guys, Terry, who had an earring, asked where we were staying.  Remembering everything I’ve learned in movies, I evasively answered that we were staying a little ways out of town.  He then told us he and his friend Bill were staying in a friend’s apartment not far from there.  He then suggested that we join them for dinner.  I was caught completely off guard.  Megan even dropped that she was married and it didn’t deter him.  We put him off by saying that we wanted to try some good Czech food.  We visited for a little longer and as we were preparing to leave, Terry again invited us to dinner.  We politely refused again and left.  I’m not entirely sure what dinner would have been but I’m pretty sure I know what he had in mind for dessert.
