In and Around Karlštejn Castle
A couple of weeks ago, I took a day trip out from Prague to Karlštejn. The small town is just a short train ride away through some of the Czech countryside, and the vibe is so different from the bustle of the capital. The views around Karlštrejn are so scenic and calm…. Along one of…

Late Afternoons on the Vltava River
Late afternoon and early evening are my favorite times of day to be around the Vltava River here in Prague. In good weather, people always come out for paddle-boat sightseeing….

I couldn’t really read the Czech menu there, so I ordered randomly off the coffee section and got this espresso + ice cream + whipped cream drink. It was pretty…

A Room with a View
I’m finally unpacked and settled in my new Czech apartment. Here’s a few photos of the views out the windows…. The building I’m in was constructed in 1905. I like it here. : )

The Road to Prague
Hey everybody, So! I just got back to Prague in the Czech Republic where I’ll be interning this summer. The road getting here was kind of rough – my original flight was delayed, delayed, delayed, and then finally canceled. I had to stay an extra night in Atlanta in a hotel near the airport,…
