Search concluded

After two mornings of searching I found a new airpump. I had gone into town with Ali and went to Tesco and asked a couple people if they had air pumps. I finally found someone who even knew what it was (I brought mine with me to show) and he told me that I could find it at the Tesco in Novy Smichov. I thought, great! I'll go right now but when I got to the metro it was apparently closed at the stop I was at which meant I would have to take the tram. Since there was no way I could take the tram to Novy Smichov and get out to Sofia's school in time I had to end my search for the day. The next afternoon I took both kids to the mall with me to go to Tesco but unfortunately my hopes where dashed when I realized they did not have any air pumps. I figured I would make one last ditch effort and look in the mall. It was a good thing I did becuase once I started walking through the mall I remembered Drapa Sports so I headed there. I looked around and found inflatable mattresses but they all said, "pump sold separately" so I kept looking around. I finally found a hand pump which I was desperate enough to accept so I picked it up and headed to the front of the store. I noticed some camping equipment behind the counter and gave it a once over and low and behold...an electric air pump!!! YAY, success! I bought the airpump and then asked if they had hand pumps for tires/balls since one of my friends was looking for one and they had that too. It was a very successful trip to Draper Sports.
