Cesky Krumlov= Castle + Beer + Czech food

Hi everyone!

We had our first field trip this weekend! We went to Cesky Krumlov. It is soooo beautiful! If you ever come to the Czech Republic, GO GO GO to this town. It's in the south close to the Austrian boarder and it is DEF worth seeing! It the best preserved and restored medival town in all of Europe. It is really touristy when it's tourist season, but I still think it would be worth it. We stayed in a Pension--which is basically like a bed and breakfast. SOO CUTE!

Also! One of our adventures in the town was going to the Eggenburg brewery. OMG. Best beer ever...so cheap. It was like 25 kcs, which equals $1.05 for a HUGE beer. Also at this place was a gypsy band. They were really fun. If you remember in my earlier post, I mentioned that many people think they look like Mexians...well they don't. BUT They did manage to play "La Bamba" which i thought was HILARIOUS. But, no one else really got the joke. But of course, I had one too many beers (they were cheap) and I was the first one out on the dance floor. I had alot of fun!!!

Next subject: CZECH FOOD.
Czech food is heavy, rich with cream sauce, bread, and fatty meats---meaning, BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD. We had lunch at this cute little place up a side street, and it turned out to be the best food ever. Again---inexpensive. The pork, chicken, and duck I recommend. I would much rather have potatoe dumplings that bread dumplings, but either way...they are good. Also, never really like cabbage before, but saurkraut is sooo good--Red and white cabbage.

but other than that, Krumlov is a great city...CZECH it out..hahaha

love you!
oh it also snowed on the way down there, so it was a BEAUTIFUL drive!
ps. thanks mom for packing me an umbrella!
