but moving forward, who goes to czech republic? ...a couple years ago a friend asked me what i love about czech so much. i couldn't really give a solid answer. i adore the czech people, enjoy the culture, and honestly the scenery doesn't hurt - whether it's city or countryside! let me show you what i mean.
so first of all, where the heck is czech?
it's pretty much smack dab in the center of europe. which is perfect for traveling (advertisement - we want you to come visit!). it's surrounded by Poland, Slovakia, Germany, and Austria. we will be living in Pardubice and living in Hradec Kralove (both pretty much exactly east of Prague).
we've worked with the church in Pardubice several times before, though my last three english camps have all been on the Moravian side of Czech (far east - close to the Polish and Slovak borders).
i think that every town and city in Czech has a town square - this is Pardubice's. they're all quaint and beautiful. most have a statue, some have towers, and there are shops and restaurants around the square. i just love town squares!
and here is the capital - Prague. the first picture is one that i took of the cathedral and astrological tower.the one below is from Wenceslas Square (remember God King Wenceslas? he was czech :))
and finally: the Charles bridge and the castle
but the best part is the mountains. i've spent the most time in the Beskydy mountains on the eastern side of czech.
this is hotel malenovice, my favorite place in the world, tucked away in the beskydy mountains!
pictures just don't do this land justice!
