Cesky Krumlov

One of the UNESCO sites, Cesky Krumlov, is a gorgeous castle in southern Bohemia. We went yesterday and had a great time. The castle is completely painted with frescoes and the city itself is a fairytale backdrop with winding streets that are cobbled with irregular stones and really lovely buildings. The Vlatva River, which runs through Prague, twists through the city and looks less like the placid sluggish river that we see in Prague and more like a real river. People were canoing down it, well many of them were doing more drinking and singing than canoing, but it was pretty lively.

We ate at a restaurant that Curtis likes. We ordered a feast for 4 because one of us only had salad, and we got it with chicken and rabbit. Mmm, bunny. I don't know how to put pictures in different parts of the blog yet, but I'll post a picture of the food later.

It was a pretty sweet day even though the weather was cold and windy and we had some travel mishaps at 7.15 AM. Can't complain, really.

Also, it's cherry season in CR and on the walk to/from the train station there were cherry trees with ripe, although extremely sour-I think they were pie cherries, cherries. I love eating fruit that I can pick as I walk.
