Summer in the Czech Republic is amazing. We had one of the longest winters ever this year, lucky me to be here for it. It really makes you appreciate summer. So far, this summer I've been to a spa town, went on a 2-day canoeing trip, a 4-day cycling trip in Czech Canada and to the Austrian border, and this weekend to a cottage in Bohemia and hiking in Czech Switzerland. Picking fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and cherries from their respective bushes/trees/vines. Amazing. Hot during the day, cool at night, and long, long nights. Out in the country on Friday, at 4am, the moon was nearly full and the sun was rising in the east. It was great. We roasted a whole pig on a spit all day saturday and finished off 2 kegs of the best beer in the world, Pilsner Urquell. All you vegans and vegetarians out there can just fuck off if you take offence. It looked gross, but that pig was damn good. Too many joints to count, good games of frisbee, football (soccer), and swinging from a 5meter-high tree swing. Pumping water from a well, using an outhouse, fantasticky! (pronounced: fan-tas-titsky.) I love it here.
