Czech it out!

This weekend, I went on a bus trip with my friend Marisa, her son Khameron and 40something other shopping crazy women! We drove about 5 hrs (including a 30 minute stop) to the Czech Republic to do some bargain shopping. It was a great time. The bus ride was murderous, much like the Venice one, but not quite as long or overnight. But that aside, it was fun to meet new people and do something different in a different place.

One really interesting thing: Remember that movie Last Holiday with Queen Latifah, and she thinks she is dying so she goes to a hotel in Europe to spend all her money having a great vacation before she dies? WELL, the Hotel Pupp is in the city of Karlovy Vary. Pronounced /kal-uh-vah-ry/. We parked right by it! We strolled around that town for a couple hours and then headed for the MADNESS of the Asian Market. It reminded me a lot of just across the border Mexico with the bargaining and people everywhere, etc.

This place had hot off the press wafer cookie thingys. They are SO good!
