Awww BATS

Yeah! My brother Dustin is here in Prague visiting me for 10 days. It was a nice little high school graduation present to take his first trip to Europe to see me - such a lucky guy. We've had a wonderful time, even though when you ask him how it's been he gives a very unenthusiastic "Fine." Our "fine" time has included tours of Prague, lots of Czech food, trying to meet all the amazing people I know here (again, lucky for him, many of the people I know are his age), a trip to Munich and the BMW Museum, cooking experiments, and, my favorite, a trip to the Prague Zoo.

The highlight of the zoo? Watching the fruit bats, which are allowed to fly out of their "cave" to where the innocent observers are watching. I don't mind bats, neither does my brother, so we had no problem standing there for several minutes watching them. The reason it was the highlight was because of what I noticed when we were back outside - BAT POOP! on my butt! Yup, I got pooped on by a bat at the zoo. Thinking back to the time inside, I had felt something wet on my arm, which I then proceeded to wipe on my brother's white t-shirt (as any good sister would), but it was dark, so I didn't really think to much about it. For the rest of the day I got to laugh about the whole thing (the bat poop washed off) and telling my brother he had something on his shirt - I laughed, he didn't, all in all a great day at the zoo!
