Back in the CZ

Well, we're back in Chotoviny now. Me & Jillian had a very grueling trip back from Italy. Our train left Florence at 10pm and was to arrive in Vienna at 9am. The train was full, and hot as hell. I got about 20 minutes of sleep. The train was late getting into Vienna, so we had to run to our connecting train to Prague. Again, no sleep on this train. And again, this rain was late. We had very little time to navigate through the Metro system to get to a different train station in Prague to catch the train to Tabor. We made it, but barely. The train to Tabor was old and rickety. But we could lean out the windows and breath in the Czech countryside. So, all in all it was 20 hours of traveling on 20 minutes of sleep. When we got home, some friends from Austria made us Wiener Schnitzel, and then I went to bed and slept for about 10 hours.

Last night, me & jillian decided to make a Mexican dinner. This in no easy feat in the CZ. There is not a large Mexican food section in the grocery stores here. We made makeshift enchiladas, Spanish rice, refried beans, salsa, and guacamole. I have to say, it was awesome. I was very proud of us. So, a couple American girls made a couple Austrians some Mexican food in the Czech Republic. Typical.

Today we are taking it easy. Six people are coming over from the states with the media company that is putting together the media package for Zamek, so we will have a full house!
