Special Guest Blog Post from Ljubljana
Kellen has formally allowed me, Hailey, to write an official blog post for him. So HELLO MCMINNVILLE WOOOO. We are currently in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, home of the famed DRAGON BRIDGE. Many come from the four corners of the globe to visit the famed DRAGON BRIDGE. Not only are the four FAMED dragons the protectors of the city, they also... apparently... can detect when a virgin walks across the bridge, so beware.

Image may be less tilty than it appears
In all seriousness, though, the Ljubljanian people love this bridge. The green dragon is not only the beloved mascot of their football club(Ed Note: (thats me, Kellen) while it is true that "the Dragons", is the nickname for NK Olimpija Ljubljana, and the lovable green dragon indeed, adorns their crest, it is perhaps more notable for being the name of the club's notorious Ultra group and as well as their hooligan Firm) , it is also the city's symbol. So you see adorable cartoon dragons on posters telling the citizens to keep the area clean. In addition, every single Slovenia person Kellen and I have met has told us that we must see the famed DRAGON BRIDGE. McMinnville clearly needs to become sister cities with Ljubljana so we can take advantage of the famed DRAGON BRIDGE by building one of our own, over Cozine or Baker Creek, let's step it up.

DobrĂ½ den! From Prague
I have been in Prague since Friday, and I have to say- it is an awesome city. Good weather (it actually feels like fall), nice people, great beer, and hockey on the front page of the sports section.Also it looks like this which is pretty cool:

That picture, taken from downtown shows the skyline which is pretty much how it was 300 years ago. Prague has a lot of stuff for everyone from the Art Nouveau design's of Alphonse Mucha to the INSANELY baroque stylings of St. Nicholas Cathedral. Also can you argue with a country who produced this great man:
His jersey is everywhere and I have seen tons of people with hair similar to mid nineties Jagr which I can only imagine is a tribute to the great number 68. On another interesting side note, Prague has the most metal-heads I have seen pro capita of any other city in the world.

Rock 'n Roll Karaoke
A few nights ago Hailey, me and some friends of ours took part in the age old Austrian tradtion of Karaoke (note: this was karaoke in Austria, in an Irish pub, with a lot of American music. Hello Globalization!) I will give someone some delicious Austrian chocolate if they can name what song we are rocking out in this picture:
On another side note, I have no idea what the girls are doing in this picture, but their heart was not in it that is for sure. Not like Glenn (left of me) at least.
