Czech? ...check!

Cesky Krumlov is a cutie patootie little town on town on the Czech-Austrian border, just a 2.5 hour drive from Gaming. So yesterday we did a day trip! Because we all have Philosophy papers and are supposed to be doing them this weekend...so naturally, it's best to leave them to Sunday.

We arrived after only one near-death experience in the car. It's not enough that the roads are 2 inches wide...they're also two lanes.

Here's the town...if you haven't learned by now, I'm not good at taking meaningful pictures, so this is about the extent of the architectural documentation.

Other notable things from the day:

1. Eating a medieval Bavarian feast for lunch. By feast I mean feast. That carried me over from lunch yesterday to lunch today.
2. Eating rabbit. Ok, so it was included in the feast, but it was so good it deserved its own number. I feel the Czech experience is complete after that, even without having bought a Praha drinking team shirt.
3. Creeping on funny actors in moonboots on their lunch breaks. I wish I had a picture that better portrayed the awkwardness of it all. That there is a man in a skirt and leggings...and moonboots.

4. Did I mention we went to Czech in a big white Mary's Meals van? That might have explained the near death experience on the way back, too...as...
5. We foraged through a national park, aka the side of a mountain, in said van. (Did I mention 2-inch-wide roads?)
6. There was also a beautiful lake involved. If I remember the name, I might edit this post at some point. Probably not though.


Well, you know, that's all for now. Off to Philosophize.
