Prague and Budejovice, CZ – September 2012
 |
| The famous ‘Dancing House’ in Prague. |
After spending a few days in Paris, we made our way to the Czech Republic to visit family. It was my fourth trip out, and we spent most of our time just relaxing in great company, but we also caught Mucha’s Slav Epic exhibition, which was amazing, and wandered around Cesky Budejovice a bit. We spent some time at the old Water Mill that Roman’s parents are working to restore, and went on a wild mushroom hunt (a very traditional and typical Czech seasonal event). It was a memorable and rejuvenating trip!

| Hunting for edible mushrooms in the forest. | I have a pigeon for you! | The size of Mucha’s pieces was incredible! |

| Czech honeybee. I love seeing the regional varieties in bees! | Neat ceramic bird sculpture outside the ceramics museum. | Neat sculptures all around Budejovice. | Modern and old, graffiti and art. |

| One of my favorite bits of the Slav Epic. | I had never seen a nuclear plant before. | Typical random old building in Prague. | Me posing on the Charles bridge. |

| Awesome little tea house. | Roman and I enjoy tea together. | Stream which feeds to the old water mill. | Gorgeous forest where we went hunting mushrooms! |

| Welcome to the Owl’s Mill! | Roman said this one was poisonous. But pretty! | Roman, mushroom hunter extraordinaire! | Neat little mushrooms. They were *everywhere*. |

| So many varieties! | I think this one was edible. | Success! |
