Cesky Krumloc, Czech Republic

Today we are in a small "Jewel Box" of a village (Cesky Krumlov). It is 3 hours south
of Prague and about an hour north of the Austrian border. We are here 3 nights. Sunday
when we arrived it was very hot and humid. Maybe 80-85. Today---Cold and windy, maybe
50-55, brrrrr. But maybe it keeps all the japanese tour groups from running us over on
the small cobblestone streets. If any Japanese are reading this--Change it to Germans!!
Tomorrow we will travel south through Austria (about 6-7 hours I think) to our destination in Eisenkappel, Austria. The route will take us through some of Austria that we have not traveled before. It should be quite scenic. Gloria wants to put her
5 cents in now----
Lowell says don't get windy - I hope my 5 cents makes sense. The Castle apartments where we are staying is just about 15 feet to the next building. Between the buildings, on the cobblestones, is a Restaurant with several outside tables. Literally we walk out our door and 5' from the door people are sitting and eating and joyfully making Merry- their "merry" often goes until 12 am anyway also at our 3rd story attic apartment also all the smells from the grill permeates our warm noisy abode, but without the widows open we suffer the heat. I am so, so, so, thankful for the cooler weather. people stay inside, and the windows offer much needed airing out and comfort. Daily/nightly, also across to the next building, is a window where two cats sit (maybe it will be the next picture) We have had great entertainment watching them. Lowell has taken pictures of cats playing, Laying down, sleeping, stare-ing, and ready to pounce. Windows and doors - with curtains blowing or people pensively looking out. I wonder what they are pondering!!
Well my time is up and my paragraph is long. Till later... Gloria
