We arrived on the second anniversary of a very sad event so we
immediately headed to the cemetery to pay our respects.
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.
Making our way up the hill - a bit of a struggle!
