Hi Everyone!
It's the mark of the second week and FINALLY I've reached some kind of down in my trip. I have no explanation whatsoever...just woke up a little depressed, and no reason behind it. The only things I can think of are the addictive substances I've been exposing myself to...mainly beer. We all know I'm sensitive, but could I be that sensitive?? Anyway, yesterday was INCREDIBLE! Juraj picked me up in his car and we spent all day (like 10 hours) driving to 3 castles outside of prague. It was so gorgeous. You all might not be surprised that I'm in heaven here with all the poppy flowers. They are my favorite color, and they are everywhere. The first castle belonged to Franz Ferdinand, and he had the most insane collection of hunting trophies I've ever seen in my life. Thousands of animals! There's even a bear that lives in the front of the castle. There was a garden with a lot of peacocks that was quite entertaining...it's spring so all the male animals are chasing around the females.

There were two more castles to follow...I have pictures, and I'll figure out the names and let you all know. I'm still worn out from the day, so thinking about it is actually making me tired all over again! Today will be some sight seeing and shopping...now to figure out what will improve my mood.

Love you all!
Lauren
