Czech Republic: Hrad Křivoklát


We ventured into the countryside to visit Křivoklát Castle. It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed not only the castle, but a walk and a visit with my relative, Vladimir, in his home near the Castle.

Prague XXIX: Strahov Library


The Strahov Monastery has an impressive library with books I would have loved to get my hands on. Alas, they didn't let you touch them.















This set of books actually had pieces of plants on the binders! Of course, they were so old you could no longer tell what they were.
