Gypsies in Kuks

POSTED BY HETTY:

Last night was the "highlight of my trip" -- something I think I'll be saying many more times. We went to a Gypsy concert/dance party at a small theater Standa built himself!

The Gypsy band was amazing and they were so passionate about their songs...several times they all started crying because they were singing about their mother wandering and her heart being broken (they have no home land). Even though their lyrics were sad (of course we couldn't understand them unless Standa translated) their songs were very lively and upbeat. We got up and danced with them and they taught us the words...its was SO AWESOME. We danced with real Gypsies. They loved us and I think they really appreciated how much we enjoyed them.

Standa's neighbors and their kids came over to watch/dance too and Casey played with the kids a lot...she should have some great photos of them...they were so cute. Ok that's all I got for now....ahoy! "czech" for hellow and goodbye :)
