My new home
Well, I finally arrived in Trutnov. I am staying in Karel's room, as he is in Tulsa for the year. This guy has a PIMPED OUT computer!!! You can see inside the CPU, there are blue lights, and there are car-like gauges on the cover of the CPU. It is amazing. Anyway, about the room. The windows are open right now, and I have a gorgous view of the bohemian countryside. Current bohemian rock music is drifting in through the window because the local music festival is currently finishing up. The house is covered in pine furnishing, and smells fresh. There even seems to be a small swimming pool in the backyard. wow. The hotel I have been at for the past 5 days was also breathtaking. Please visit the website on the previous post. One guest looked like the star from High School Musical. I have pictures. There were buff, tan, lean Czech teenage guys playing volleyball on the beach. No, I didn't talk to them. The simple fact that I don't speak the language can get in the way. I went on a 18 mile mountain bike TREK the other day. I have never hauled myself over such steep hills on a bike. I'm the person that gets off and walks. Europeans don't do that kind of stuff. They put the bike on a lower gear, then keep on going. Yesterday we visited a castle that was over 700 years old. It was rainy, so the views were a little more limited, but on a good day, you can see Prague from the top.

This is one thing that made me fall in love with the Czech Republic. There are no REAL castles in the U.S.A.
