Next we headed out to our country home, about 25 miles south of Prague. On the way we stopped at the Konopiste Castle for a serving of Svickova and some good cold beer.

Dad had done an amazing amount of work on the contry home since we last visited - it's now ready for visitors.

Next stop - Rene's house in Velke Popovice. Rene is the dad of Jindra, the girl that Caite was room-mating with while she went to high school in Prague.

Of course, it would be blasphemy to visit Popovice and not sample the local product (Kozel).

The only civilized way to start each morning is with a good cup of espresso, of course, after which it's time to go shopping for sweet things.

We all love trains, so we always look for an excuse to ride them - this time we went to the castle of Krivoklat. Some of us were a bit tired from all the traveling, though.
