Karlštejn

Sorry, Jessica, I already had this post started when I got your comment that you would rather have Magdalena! :) So, here is another travel commentary! But next time, I'll get back to your favorite subject.


On the weekends, since Petr is off from work, we have been site-seeing. Last Saturday we headed to Karlštejn, about an hour outside Prague. Charles IV had the castle built in the mid-14th century. The coronation jewels were brought here originally during the Hussite Wars for safe-keeping, then kept here for 200 years.




It sure is hard to get everyone looking at the camera, especially when one of the people is Magdalena! Her attention span is about 3 seconds!

The weather prediction for the day was rain. We decided to chance it anyway. We took umbrellas and the stroller cover in preparation. As you can see, the rain did not come. It turned out to be a beautiful day--almost a little too warm!


Petr is carrying Magdalena's things; the hat was easiest carried on the head.
