Being a tourist :)

So, I finally decided to do a little bit of sight seeing. Yesterday, I ventured out on my own to visit the square in C. Budejovice. Though it was sprinkling, I enjoyed my little adventure. I climbed the clock tower and viewed the city from above...absolutely beautiful!

Then, today, Eva and I ventured out to visit the castle in Hluboka. Here's a Czech lesson for you. In Czech, "Hluboka" means "deep." Hluboka possibly derived its name from a deep well that used to be on the property. (I learned this from the English tour I took of the castle.) The weather was cold, but Eva and I had a good time. I really enjoyed spending time with her as well as getting to see another beautiful sight of the Czech Republic.

This is the view of the square in C. Budejovice from the clock tower.

In the middle of the square in C. Budejovice stands this monument. I'm not sure if it represents anything or not. To the right of the picture, you'll see the clock tower I climbed!


This is Eva and I in front of the Hluboka castle.

The Hlubka Castle - absolutely beautiful and quite fascinating!

This is me enjoying the fall weather.
