Southern Bohemia....



I traveled south to Březnice today and spent the day with a delightful friend. Březnice is located an hour and a half south of Prague in southern Bohemia. It is a small town surrounded by green fields of knee high grain. It was first mentioned in records that date back to 1218. The town seal dates to 1441. ...and to think Columbus hadn't even yet set foot in America until 1492. Březnice has a stately estate(zamek) with beautiful park like grounds and pathways that lead to long walks and conversations.

We also visited another town not too far from Březnice, called: Rožmitál pod Třemšínem which was celebrating a special day of Královna Johanka, a special friend of a king who lived there many centuries ago. ( Did I get that right?) The picture of the lake above was taken in Rožmitál pod Třemšínem, as was this special picture with a cat- ;-). Tomorrow I will post a few more pictures from today.

A nice cool sunny day. +29 m rádo se stálo
