Wednesday was exciting, we got to go on our first ‘excursion’ to other places in the Czech Republic. We stopped briefly in a small village that claimed to have both the last battlefield and last shot fired on the European end of WWII. While the battlefield had a nice memorial set up, the shot was a little sketchier, regardless, the town was beautiful! We stopped next at
České Budějovice – the home of the original Budweiser beer. Much better than the American version! We went on a tour of the factory, and even got a sampler straight from the cellar! We went next to Český Krumlov, a gorg
eous town in South Bohemia. Everything here is literally straight out of a postcard. The Vltava River flows right throw the center of the city, and even as we first walked in we heard the screams of people rafting down over the falls. We had a tour of the castle and time to explore the city; a hot, long but fun day.
After classes on Thursday we all went out to dinner (pizza, finally!) and into downtown Prague for the night. We got to go to a few different pubs and see some concerts. You often have to go downstairs to get to places in Prague because a history of flooding forced them to build their street levels higher. This just adds to the cool atmosphere of the city at night, though. We walked across Charles bridge and past lots of
other sights and had a great time.
