Prague

N.P. here
YAWN! Sorry i am a little tired. I have been up from 3:30. I woke up for the first time with a alarm clock. I woke up thought it was our alarm for carben monoxied and started holding my breath. I went at 4:00 AM to the train station and started shivering. We made it to Prague at 8:00 and went to the airport. Me and my mom said goodbye to my granddad and my uncle at 10:00. We went to Mcdonald's but they don't sell daytime food until 10:30( they sell breakfast). Me and my mom went shopping. Zachary waned us to buy him a book with Lord of The Rings stats, but they moved. So we started looking for a art store that Becca found when she was in Prague before. We decided just to go do my mom's knitting shopping. We asked the store person if they know where the art store is. She said yes and started giving very complicated instructions. In the end my mom and me finale found the art store. THanks to my granddad and uncle each kid got 500Kc, so i had 950Kc. In the end i bought 4 sketch books, one for doodling, 2 for drawing and 1 for sketching, i bought 6 pencils,2 crayons, 1 sharpener, 1 moldable eraser. Later we went to Bohemia Bagel, where we got lunch. On our way to Starbucks we saw Charels Bridge, and guess what! Its being either how should i put it renewed. The new Starbucks is really, REALLY bad. They don't really know what Starbucks is. it was a long train home, we got back at 9:30 and it is now 10:00.

P.S. I would like to give a special thanks to my granddad and uncle for all they have done.

Relatives and teeth

N.P. here
on the 20th of Febuary my Grandfather and my Uncle came to visit us. I am going with them and my mom to Prague on the 27th.I am collecting money for the art store, bagel store so forth. I cleaned the upstairs toilet and bathroom for 200kc(kc is short for crowns, crowns being the Czech tip of money). Me and Grace both pulled out a tooth( Grace pulled out one, I pulled out one). W both got the same thing, a 20kc coin and a 10 dollar bill. We traded in the 10 dollars with our Uncle, he gave us 200 kc each. All together i collected 420 kc. I have 30 kc in my pockt money. All together i have 450kc. I will post what i will buy later.

read, reading, will read

N.P. here
I have just finished reading a Czech book. it was about two kids who have a magnifying glass, that one of them made. The magnifying glass was (you could call it) "MAGICAL." It was made in a way that allowed it to see through things. it cannot see through more than 1 object. in the story there is a girl(the main character) and her best friend (a boy). in this book they go to a ZOO and find out that a tiger has escaped from his cage. later on the main character finds out that the tiger (which got away from the ZOO) was not deadly. She saw on the news that one of her friends has been "eaten by the tiger." She and her friend (The boy, not the "eaten" one) find the tiger and give it back to the ZOO, and they find the person who captured the friend who was thought to be eaten. All in all a good book. The author turns out to be German, it was translated into Czech and I being American read it for school, is that ironic or what? Thats all for now, please comment!

Writing for The Newspaper

N.P. here
i am right now writing in BECCAS ROOM Its is so cool. anyway on the subject of writing i Nathan Pitcher have handed in my first post into the Zakladni Umelecka School Newspaper. I asked the teacher who is running the Newspaper how many handed in post there are. she there was 1 from me and 2 other things. Im planning on doing another one. I am going to make a report on the Pipe Organ. Did you know that the organ with the most layers of keys is in America (it has i think 6 layers). You cant press down on it all the or else (in time) all the houses within 1 Km will brake. The biggest organ is in Germany. did you know that you can play songs on the organ just using your feet. And I'm not talking about cartoon playing with your feet, There is a layer of keys on the bottom of organ. If you have A)any news about organs or B)any ideas of what to wright into the newspaper then e-mail me at nathanpitcher11@gmail.com or post a comment with your idea/nowledge
