The Reappearing Girl

June27

On what was it, Wednesday night I met this really awesome girl from Croatia in my hostel and we decided to go out for a beer.  I was on my last 131 CZK, (but that should be more than enough to buy some beer since most places are 25-30 CZK a beer) but beer is cheaper than water here.

Walked to a pub I know that has fantastic quality beer for dirt cheep, but it was super packed and quite hot and smoky inside.  So we just wandered around places for awhile until I decided I could get a good beer at the Irish Pub near my hostel. 

Not thinking to ask the price of the beer I ordered a beer I had not had before, it was similar to guiness but not quite that thick.  So I had another.  The girl only had one beer, and it was one of the czech beers which were better priced. 

Anyways the bill came and each one of my beers was 76 CZK and hers 46 I think.  Still, I almost shit a brick as I felt like a total bastard having to ask her for a few crowns to cover my share of the beer….

Well, we had a fantastic long conversation that night while we were out, hitting about a million different subjects.  I love when I meet somebody who can keep up with me and all my crazy ideas. 

Before leaving the bar I ran into a guy I know (Peter, the Scottish tour guide) and he was totally smashed.  He was going to give me his phone # to help me out when he could, but he was moving so slow that I was again annoying the nice girl I was with while talking to him.  I tried to speed him up and he bought me a shot. 

I was sad to see that the girl I was with had to leave the next morning since the hostel was booked for the night.  She was amazingly fun so I tried to get her to stay and watch a movie, but she had to go.

Figured that was it, though I woke up this morning *Saturday* to discover that she was in my room.  Which was fantastic, though I should have gotten back to the hostel earlier that day so I would have been able to watch that movie with her as both of us were departing this morning.  Or I could have taken her on a proper date, seeing as how I actually had some money today. 

She doesn’t really believe in social networks or anything, so it will be difficult to stay in touch.  A couple years ago I would have said they were all rubbish as well, but now I have found them to be really helpful ways to keep in touch with people that would be otherwise not communicated to. 

I could post a picture of her now, but she would probably not appreciate that.  Hopefully she will write or something as I told her to come visit Arizona (Sedona is the most beautiful place in all the states and it’s only 2 hours or so from where I live).
