Quick update

Its been a while since my last update, but I have very limited time online, and have been spending as much time as possible out in the cities exploring. Even with so much time to travel, sometimes is seems that there is never enough time to see half of the things that I would like to. The trip is still going well though, and right now we are Prague. All these cities never cease to impress me with the grandeur of their architecture, and the richness in their history. Just when you think you have seen the most impressive city you can imagine, you travel across a country boarder to yet another equally impressive city. Its crazy.
Vienna was (of course) great, and one of the cool things about it was that we stayed with a guy out on the edge of the city where the vineyards start. Our first night in we went to this little hole in the wall restaurant that serves only a hand full of different dishes, but they are all traditional and all the wines they have on tap are produced locally, sometimes less than a kilometer away. During our next days there we wandered around the town and were lucky enough to encounter several cool festivals. From there it was off to Brno for a night, and then out to Krakow.

krakow!

Krakow is totally sweet: clean, fun, lots of good bars and restaurants, tons of history, the architecture, and as a bonus, super cheap compared to the cities we visited before it. The first day, however, was a bit of a somber one because we spent the day out at Auschwitz. It is a very powerful experience, and it made me reflect and wonder how such atrocities are possible in todays world. Its so sad. The rest of the time in Krakow was much more upbeat though, and it was definitely worth the journey out there to see it.

Well, got to go now, time for dinner and perhaps a few beers. Its is, after all, the Czech Republic, the country the consumes more beer per capita than any other country in the entire world. Cheers!
