Czech Republic Update - EC Day 4

     The theme for today's English lesson was taste, touch, and various parts of the body. We had a large array of different flavors for our group to taste, courtesy of the Nifty Nut House. The most memorable were the Tabasco flavored Jelly Bellies.

     After lunch we visited a nearby town called Ceske Budejovice. It was a nice town, one of the oldest in the country, I think.

     We climbed a tower (called the Black Tower) that was 70+ meters high (for you Americans, that is a very decent height. Think a little less then the 100 meter dash, but vertical). However we were only up 50 meters, or so. The entire town was laid out before us in a scenic view. The town square boasted an impressive fountain and several piano-esque statues that we thought might be a nod to the Czech composer Dvorak.

     The outing was a pleasant change of scenery and God blessed us with a few hours of sunshine to brighten the mostly rainy day. It is hard to believe that we only have a couple days of camp left! Soon we will be back stateside, but I will never forget my experiences here.
