This evening, Elizabeth and I will be taking a train out of Prague to Vienna. In addition to seeing more of Prague, including Franz Kafka's grave and the Museum of Communism, yesterday we went out of the city to Karlstejn Castle, the 14th century Castle of King Charles IV. The castle is often described as being liked something out of Disney World, but the interior of the castle isn't really much to see. The exterior, however, lives up to its reputation and is worth the short train trip out of Prague to see. Hope everyone is well.

Trdlo, a wonderful snack that tastes like a Churro but is shaped like a slinky, from Prague.
