Alys and Jess Tour Europe

Czech Republic

There are [36] photos in this gallery.

Twenty days between Brno, Prague, Cesky Krumlov, and small villages we don't know the names of!

Totally abandoned church in a small village in Czech Republic. During communism, churches were not allowed to be active. Do you ever get that creepy feeling? Views[71] OH the parents! We had fun, didn't we? Views[79] This is Lukas, the gypsy boy we hung out with in Brno. He is a sweet boy and helped us enormously. I wish the absolute best for him. Views[60] When someone doesn't understand that we are asking for the toliet, this is what Jess does. Views[70] The Hare Krishnas have made traveling in Europe and being part vegetarian easy because of their excellent vegetarian restaurants. Thanks, guys! Views[46]
 
Hanging out in Brno with our host Andreas and his Dutch friend. Views[50] These guys were fun, but could you guess which one of them is 16 years old? Views[48] I have to tell you, the night started with awkward conversation and the feeling that it was going to be a very long night if the guys didnt loosen up quick. Views[42] The Charles Bridge in Prague. I am sure everyone who has been to Prague took this exact same photo. Views[45] On the way up to the castle in Prague. Views[49]
 
People started writing political statements on this wall. Everyday, it was covered over. Finally, the French Ambassador said he liked looking at the art and it was allowed to stay. Views[45] So now it is called the Lennon wall and people are welcomed to add to it. Pretty cool. Views[52] A beautiful view of Prague from a park near one of the places we stayed. Views[37] EuroCup 2008 at a beer garden. We were of course rooting for Spain. Views[43] Our Parisian friend, Julie. So cute! Views[55]
 
Side trip to small village, Cesky Krumlov. or Crusty Crumb Love as Jess calls it. Views[50] The river that wraps around Cesky Krumlov. Views[53] Views[41] Views[47] Views[49]
 
Jess reunited with a good friend from when she lived in Australia who just so happened to be working in Prague. Views[46] The infamous haircutting establishment we braved in Prague. Views[42] Us with our gracious host in Prague who was also a Frenchman. We won´t mention he is tall cause he gets that a lot. Views[49] Guilluame the Frenchman. We stayed with him for three days near I.P. Pavlova in Prague. Views[49] Jess salsa dancing with a Cuban man in Prague. Views[44]
 
Alys being whipped around the dance floor by the same Cuban. Views[45] Thank you to Jess' parents for playing Alys' weird games and for their extreme generousity and great company. Views[65] Alys loves this photo. Taken in the cathedral at the Prague castle with the most beautiful lighting. Views[53] The TV tower in Prague is a symbol of communism because it was rumoured that it was set up to interfere with radio signals. Views[57] Ever the comedians, architects added crawling babies to the TV tower. Views[56]
 
Alys is collecting graffiti photos from every country. Views[45] One of the small towns we visited while looking for ancestors. Views[55] Alys is getting so artsy! Mommy, this is the one I will want on the wall in the living room with Dawn's award winning photos. Views[60] Just a view. Views[53] With Joanne, Alys learned all about this statue and the building behind it. You learn it, you learn it, and then you forget it. Views[55]
 
Jeff gets a special mention. We hung out with Jeff a few times in Prague and really enjoyed his company. See you in Colorado, dude! Views[62]
