It's hard to believe that it's been a year since my vacation to Europe last summer, and here are a few snippets of the trip. My family and I went around the Czech Republic, visiting places like Karlovy Vary where we stayed at the Grand Hotel Pupp (pronounced poop!), Cesky Krumlov (I refer to it as Shrek town because it's so medieval-esque), and Prague (the capital). Beautiful country --- the third photo looks more like a postcard, doesn't it? It was taken in Karlovy Vary! After a week, we crossed the border to Hungary where I found out that Budapest is actually divided by a river into two areas : Buda and Pest. Amazing! We also took a day trip to Austria where most of our time was spent shopping and eating --- as we do in pretty much every vacation. Did you know that the European diet is very rich in vitamin B? Lots of BEER or any other alcoholic beverage for that matter. And I found out that I don't get red after drinking alcohol, so that's good.. Although I hardly ever drink, ha ha. Plus, we met this golden, headless street performer guy that started doing the peace sign at us, so we went over to him to have a photo taken! So funny.
The Czech Republic could very well compete for the prestigious honor of being my favorite country; I loved every place we visited, I loved the
Becherovka, I loved the cold weather, I loved the protein-rich food, I loved the vast, yellow acres filled with
canola. In a few days, however, I will be on my way to my absolute favorite place on Earth:
Japan. Goodbye life savings and figure, LOL. I'm so excited!
