Tonight was interesting. One of our colleagues has decided to return back to Togo and we had a little farewell evening with him at a restaurant near Petrov.It was at l'Eau Vive. So a French restaurant, run by African nuns, in Czech Republic. Things are very international over here. Now here's the kicker. Every evening the entire restaurant sings Ave Maria.
I thought that perhaps I had misunderstood the Czech but they said the same thing in French. The sisters came around with song cards and someone came out in to the restaurant with a guitar. You know it has to be true because I can't make up this kind of stuff. We all sang the song in French and then Czech. Being both Catholic and Mexican I of course know the song. But I only know it in Spanish. One of the most most popular singers here is Lucie Bilá. She's the Czech diva. Here's a clip I found on YouTube of here singing Ave Maria in Czech. Trust me, she sounds way better than we did tonight.
