Beat the Peak: Czech Republic


This weekend will be awesome! 7 of us are hiking to the to the tallest peak in the Czech Republic! We will be staying in the rural town, Vrachlabi, nearby for two nights (Fri/Sat) with Ondraj's (a local Czech student's) family. We will hike to the highest peak, Sněžka, in the biggest National Park, Krkonoše, in CZ. It is in the Northern part of the Czech Republic. From there we will be able to see Poland, since it is on the border. Then on Sunday we will have until 3 pm or so to do some other hikes in the park. And then take the train back to Prague! 

I'm really excited to go!  But until I have pictures of that to show you... here are some more of my travels in Praha!
Subway Shenanigans

I snuck into an abandoned building, now being reconstructed, for a photoshoot.
Broken glass, overgrown greens, and great light... the film turned out well!

The Bloody Beatroots in concert. Great show! 

Here's another great show, one I catch quite often... rain or shine: The Bridge Band. The Charles Bridge Band plays to tourists all year round in the snow and sun. Every time I hear them, they really do bring a smile to my face. They aren't hoaky. They seem to be just five genuine guys who love to play music, so they do. It doesn't matter what they wear, no period costumes here, nothing like that. They show up and play, you show up and pay, dance a little and you both have a nice day. I like them very much and usually stay for 3 or 4 songs if I can.
