Why Cheeky? Well .......it's just so much cooler than saying smart alec, smart mouth, sassy britches, or worse yet, smart a*# which are all things I've been called for pretty much my entire life. Maybe it's just the Dorothy Sayers or Harry Potter in me, but it just seems the British say it eveh so much beteh, don't you think? Rathah!
Why Teacher? Ummmm. Because I am one.

Bus Ride to Prague ❤️
Hello! I'm Ana and I'm supposed to blog about my experiences on this trip so far. ✈️ Well, currently we are on the bus to Prague and we just left Germany. π Yesterday, we took a trip to Dachau Concentration camp and THEN we received a wonderful and insightful tour of the city of Munich. We learned about everything from Beir Gartens to Glockenspiels.⛪️ Little did I know that this was a city of deceitful kings and crazy rulers. π° I don't remember what the first duke of the Prague territory was named, but I do remember that he was great friends with the one and only Napolean.ππΌ It was Napolean who put the Prague kingdom on the map and promoted its current duke to a king. π The son of this king was eventually handed the throne. He unlike his father did not appreciate Napaolean's worldly powers, so instead of marrying into the French family, he married a German girl. π« This marriage lasted an ENTIRE WEEK! Yes, yes, Germans know how to party.ππ― Shortly after this celebration, the king and the queen wished to celebrate for yet another week. This celebration today is known as October Fest π And is celebrated world-wide.π» Speaking of beer or bier, I learned some rules of the bier gartens in Germany. π©πͺ Rule #1: you must purchase an alcoholic beverage at the bier garten. That's not too hard for most people. π And you are welcome to bring your own munchies and snacks.ππ Rule #2: There must be an abundance of Chesnut trees in the garden. π³π° As we continued on our tour, we traveled to the suburb of Nimfenburg where the Queen's summer home was built. The current duke of München currently resides there now. The palace is surrounded by beautiful canals π and swans.
Here are some pictures of the GORGEOUS city of Munich.
