One more outing with Czech’s national beverage (not sure if that’s right but I wouldn’t bet against it). We’re headed to Krakow tomorrow

Wendy and I stopped for a refreshing Pilsner by the Vltava after exploring some of the history and before tackling the climb to the castle.

Vindication! I had ice cream from Switzerland when I was 18. It was the best ice cream I had ever had. In the US, the only thing close in my memory was frozen custard from Culver’s. Here, everyone was saying it was Gelato, and nothing could be better than Gelato. I agree that Gelato is good, but I had to prove that Swiss ice cream was not gelato. Wendy, Zarina, and I had proper ice cream tonight and they both agreed, this is better than gelato! 🍨

We rushed over to see Mona right when we got here, like it was getting in line for a roller coaster before it got busy. Spend all that time waiting to get to the front only to see reflections on the glass in front of it and take a sweaty hot selfie 😅

Zarina joked and said “do I look like her?” I said hang on hang on. Smile like her. She had no idea what I was doing. I think she looks very much like her

Wendy and I stopped in a Marche and found these baby bananas. They were cute to pass up. They taste a bit like underripe banana, but have a touch of sour that keeps them from getting that disgusting taste

When I was 18, I had a cheese sandwich on French bread and a beer in a small French Village. I’m reliving the memory at the Palace of Versailles. This is fantastic!

I love finding street artists to find a unique souvenir. I always ask them to take a photo with their work. He was pretty surprised. Mia and I had a hard time deciding, they were all so good!

Getting a ride using Bolt was rough. For some reason the first driver cancelled on me cause he went to the wrong spot and I got charged 15 euros. The rest of the family got their rides. We finally got ours 30 minutes later
