the amazing race

This year, as soon as the JV summer interns hit Prague, they were sent out in teams to start the amazing race. After going to multiple locations around Prague and learning some Czech history, they were then quizzed on Old Town Square and had to race to complete a puzzle. The next day, country teams competed against each other to find locations and people and then got on a train to Olomouc, where the teams had to find their lodging for the night. The next day, they completed more tasks in Olomouc, including rafting and eating big plates of stinky cheese (tvarusky). After that they raced to hotel Malenovice by train, taxi, foot to find the goal: Dave Patty. Way to go Gavin and Nate for making the whole thing happen!!!

Mel and Amy in traditional (Eastern) Czech dress greeted the interns at the airport singing a remix version of "Good King Wenceslaus," the interns' first clue in the amazing race.
