The Simple Things in Life

Home Sweet Home at last. Its hard to appreciate the beauty thats all around you when you live with it everyday. After seeing different countries and visiting so manty airports I'm relieved to finally be home, empty my suit case and see all the people I love and longed for while I was away. I had an amazing experience and came out of it with new eyes for the world around me.

The Little Town of Plzen


The Czech famous Plzner Bar. With taps at every table the bar turns drinking into a game. The table with the most beers wins!.. a large bill?

Pilsner Urquell Beer Factory


On the way to Prauge we stopped in a small city called Plzen for one evening.



















While waiting for the tour (the first one spoken in english!) we couldnt resist getting fresh with the waxed dummie



















































After all that talk of Beer we were mighty thirsty and ready for a taste.












Too many beers later..

On the Way to Brno..


The next stop on our journey was the city of Brno (the second largest city in Czech). We drove for about 3 hours, spent 2 nights (most of the time being lost!) and finally found the most amazing mall ever seen.



Martin wanted to show us one of his favorite castles near by.




























The castle was under construction due to a fire that had destroyed part of the side wall.
















The view of the town from one of the rooms in the castle.

Fields of Green








Uncle Ladia's Wine


After the Wine tour we went a few doors down to Ladia's house/winery (another member of Elises family) who makes wine. We had a few more glasses of amazing wine and continued to giggle our pants off. Martin did all the translating for us and we left with a couple bottle of our favorite wines.































Ladia was making a new wine cellar with his own hands
