Sunday was Ruth's 21st birthday, which was only important in America. The day began with attending a Czech church where many of the students attended. After church, the American team, plus one Czech student, Olga, went to an Italian restaurant for birthday luncheon. The food was amazing.

After lunch, we went to a porcelain store. Porcelain is something the Czechs are known for and the traditional porcelain is blue on white. Many of us bought gifts and souvenirs there. As we were walking to our next stop, Olga bought Ruth a sunflower for her birthday and taught her how to say sunflower in Czech: slulnečnice.

At 5, we met up again with the Czech students and went to see the Prague Castle.

After touring the castle, the group split up again, and Luice and Ruth went with the Czech students to celebrate her birthday with dinner and presents. One of the Czech girls made Ruth a cake and they carried it all around the castle. The Czechs also gave Ruth tons of little presents, one of them even hand-painted a tie!
