Cesky Krumlov

Well spring is officially here. Actually I think spring was just skipped over and into summer. It has been so warm and sunny lately - so beautiful!!

Speaking of things being here, Obama was here giving a speech this morning. However, though Obama was here, we were not. We went to a cute little town in south Czech Republic called Cesky Krumlov. I loved it and Jace and I had a great time. 

We got there late Friday night after an adventurous trip*, slept in on Saturday then walked around looking at the town and its castle. We just got home a little while ago, so pictures are still to come. We had such a nice and relaxing and refreshing weekend. Also, we were able to walk around in short sleeved shirts without our jackets and without being cold. I wanted to cry the weather was so perfect! I had never realized how much I had taken the sun and warmth for granted, but I definitely appreciate it now!

*Prague to Cesky Krumlov: We first had to take a train to Cesky Budejovice before connecting to Cesky Krumlov. However, our train got stopped right outside this tiny little town for an hour. They let us off that train, then it left and we got onto another train coming through. However, when we first got off the train, we left our bags there (but took the purse and wallets) and got our luggage off with just about ten minutes to spare (it would have been such a close call!)

Once we got to Cesky Budejovice, we had an hour and a half since we missed our connecting train, so we had dinner at a restaurant and went back to the train station. While there, we saw that our train was at the track so we made our way to the tracks and almost popped on the train that was sitting there. But Jace saw that the people were walking in a different direction towards this little, tiny, comical one-car train which was to take us to Cesky Krumlov. (also would have been a close call - if we missed that train we would have been stuck in that town.)

In Cesky Krumlov, we were lingering at the outside of the station (near midnight) trying to figure out what to do to get to the center. It was a small town, so there weren't taxis lingering about. Then a group of people offered us a ride to the center. It was so nice of them, and from there we easily walked to our hotel.
