Arrival


 



Justin, Michaela, Sofia, and
Sarah's Home in Srbsko

 

Our flight from L A to The Windy City, Munich, then Prague, Czech Republic (April 17-18, 2011) was just the way we like it, uneventful, with the exception of the $25.00 baggage cart fee, but that's a story for another time.

We arrived in Prague and were picked up by our son Justin. Unfortunately, we thought we were back in LA when three 18-wheelers traveling at a fast clip brutally waffled on a freeway not far outside the airport, we were not involved, but our trip to the small village where Justin and his family live, took over 3 hours instead of the usual 50 minutes. After leaving the main highway we wound down narrow, sinuous roads through a beautiful, lime-green valley speckled with the brilliant, white plum and cherry trees in full bloom, through several small villages to Justin and Michaela's home in Srbsko, a village in Cesky Raj (Bohemian Paradise) and a UNESCO protected nature park. We were greeted by Michaela (Justin's wife) and their two daughters Sofia and Sarah.  We ate and jabbered but weariness over took us.
With jet-lag, we think we then slept for three days in the beautiful apartment in Justin and Michaela's home...the exterior walls are three feet thick and solid stone, so no, we didn't hear a thing!
