This is a picture of our team which went to Europe. There were eight of us. Draha and Radek spent a lot of time planning this eleven day tour. We all had a great time and made some incredible lifetime memories.

Picture 2 & 3: This is the gym we worked out at in Krumlov.

Picture 4: This is the art museum in Krumlov. You had to wear slippers over your shoes to walk through it. I really loved this place. I even bought a picture here.

Picture 5: This, I think, is the castle we had our reception in at Decin.

Picture 6: This is the Hradcany castle complex. The president lives here.

Picture 7: This is a guard outside the castle. I wish I had his concentration at gym meets. Nothing fazed him.

Picture 8: This is a toy shop. I am not too impressed with Barbies as you can see.

Picture 9: I loved this shop. The door was only 5 feet high.

Picture 10 & 11: This is the 17th & 18th century Church of St. Nicholas. It is known for it's baroque architecture.

Picture 12: Yes, we did go bowling. No, I won't give any scores.

Picture 13 & 14: This is the Charles Bridge. I bought hats here for some great friends. The bridge is over 600 years old. Legend says this is because eggs were mixed in with the motar..

Picture 15-18: It's time to say good-bye. First we check our bags in at the airport in Vienna. On the plane I especially like how they come around every 30 minutes and offer Milka (chocolate) and Sprite. See the smile on my face? Now, it's time to do the paperwork. You have to declare what you are bringing back home. And finally, I am planting my feet in the good ole USA. Home Sweet Home!

I hope you enjoyed the trip down memory lane. I will be visiting it again this year. My Geography class will be covering it. Do you know your History? Who was John Huss? What was the Velvet Divorce all about? I peeked ahead in my book so I know!
