What is in that tiny pink house? I still ask myself that, 14 years after coming upon it for the first time. Long days wandering Prague by myself, free of schedules and expectations, but full of love for a city whose details continued to surprise me even after so many visits… On one of those [...]

A Travel Photo Treat: Český Krumlov
Český Krumlov, a small town in the very southwestern corner of the Czech Republic, is full of old world atmosphere. The streets are winding and cobbled. Many of its small buildings are intricately painted, and all have pointed, sloping roofs. Its enormous 14th-century castle and maze of well-preserved alleys rest in the hills of the Blanský [...]
Explore Kutná Hora with Me
One of my favorite places in the Czech Republic is Kutná Hora, a small city in the Czech Republic about 40 miles east of Prague. It is famous for a few things: the super-creepy ossuary, the silver mines, and some very nice architecture. Both Kutná Hora and neighboring Sedlec are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They [...]
Explore Český Krumlov with Me
Český Krumlov, a pretty little town of about 15,000, is probably the second most popular destination for travelers in the Czech Republic. It lies in the hills of southern Bohemia, the western half of the Czech Republic, on a winding section of the Vltava River. The old part of town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It has beautiful old [...]
A Travel Photo Treat: Prague

I had the opportunity to visit Prague more times than I can remember because I lived in the Czech Republic [...]
Kroměříž: The little things
Kroměříž is a small town in Moravia (the eastern half of the Czech Republic). It was a short train or bus ride from the city where I lived, yet I discovered it just weeks before I moved away. I went there twice by myself and spent the days just wandering the town. It’s a quiet but [...]
A Travel Photo Treat: Moravia
I took this picture about a week after I arrived in Moravia (the eastern half of the Czech Republic) to begin my time living abroad. This view is typical of rural Moravia in spring– yellow-blooming mustard plants that cover the rolling hills. Isn’t it beautiful? While I have seen this view numerous times through the windows [...]
Past Travels: The Next Chapter
In the interest of rounding out my posts about past travels, I’m going to continue in chronological order after “On our way out: A month…,” which left off with my month-long goodbye travels in Europe after living in the Czech Republic. That was in 1997, and after returning to the U.S., I began the process [...]
