On our third day in the Czech Republic, we went on an excursion outside of Prague to a couple castles. We took a charming little train into the Czech countryside (Part of the "charm" of the train was a toilet that was simply a hole that went directly down to the tracks. Sorry, I didn't get a picture of that). The countryside was gorgeous reminding us of western Pennsylvania which, if you're not familiar, is similar to southern Ohio. The first castle we came to was in the town of Karlstejn. It was right out of a fairy tale! The castle sits high atop a hill with the town nestled below. I half expected knights on horseback to come riding down the street or a blacksmith to step out of a shop. It all felt very medieval.
