Returned

I am back. Slightly rested, slightly footsore, and have seen a lot more. Here's a pictoral preview of the first day of my journey: Plzeň.


This is the essential Plzeň. Left to right we have a very old religious monument, ugly stadium lights, and the smokestack + water tower of the brewery.


Old Czech towns are warrens of interconnected buildings.


Let us celebrate the glories of Communism, comrade!


There are some truly amazing buildings on the old town square.


But this is the essential take-away from the town: it is the place from which comes beer.

More, and more thoughtful, soon.
