Castle, Czech Republic, Saigon Restaurant

The last few days have been quite fun. Perhaps the funnest part for me (Cara) was staying in the garden house and watching the sunset. Also, we visited a castle, I mean how cool is that!!! I took a bunch of photos from the window of the castle. Talk about a lot of steps to the top of the tower. We also viewed the Czech Republic from afar and then up close at the Czech markets right across the border. The sellers stand outside and shout BILLIG, BILLIG meaning CHEAP, CHEAP and were always trying to sell Joni and I cigarettes, poor them, they didn´t have any luck :( The Asian restaurant was beautifully decorated, with all bamboo furniture, and delicious, exotic-authentic food...yum, yum! Today we went and visited two older ladies,mother and daughter professed recently and heard their testimony and had tea and cake...lots of cake, yummy cake. The whole thing was very SWEET. The flower photos are from the garden there. Overall the last few days have been just dandy.Another flower picture, with butterflies!

Cara is extremely good with close-up flower pics. This one even looks abstractyish.

This was actually the chair where a newlywed couple sat when Heidi and Volker were here before. But we weren't the couple. Check out the cool napkins.


This is the entrance to Saigon Restaurant. It was pretty much superfantastic.


This is inside the Saigon Restaurant. It was a Vietnamese restuarant that had EVERYTHING made out of bamboo. Also, everything was handmade by the owner!


Cara and I walked to the hunter's stand and climbed up and sang hymns. To the horses. They were very attentive. We think they professed.

The beautiful sunset we saw when we were spending the night at the garden house (just me and Cara).

There was everything and anything for sale at the Czech Market!


The Czech Market, in the Czech Republic. The funny thing was, all the people selling things were asian!

We were standing in Germany and this is a mountain in the Czech Repulic!

This was the Sharfenstein Castle, it was only a little castle, but it was pretty interesting anyways.

Here is the tower in the castle, that we climbed.


The windows were fantastic!


The view from the wonderful windows!
