John Harman, July 25, 2011, Study Tour Day 5

On Monday, everyone woke up early and went to a paper mill factory. There we saw the traditional way to produce paper. It’s the oldest paper mill factory that’s still in production in the Czech Republic. Afterwards, we went to a cheese factory. The tour explained how they made the cheese, and its evolution into the industrial age. It was good cheese, but a bit salty for me.





The organic farm gave us an interesting perspective that the bigger co-op farms didn’t provide. The European Union monitored their farm from satellites, making sure that the animals don’t drink from the unregulated stream water. Arriving at our hotel, where a doberman pincher guarded the desk, the chef had a surprise for us. By far my favorite dinner of the study tour, we ate grilled pork (that tasted strangely like beef), chicken, and fresh fish. That night, after some poker and some drinks, we were ready for the next day.
