This last Monday, being Easter Monday, was a national holiday. So, with no classes to teach, I thought it'd be a good day for Rebecca and I to go a short distance northwest to the small castle ruins of Okoř.The castle was originally built in 1359. Naturally, it was updated throughout the centuries, but fortunately for medieval purists like myself, it was abandoned in the 18th century and all that older stuff crumbled away, leaving some decent gothic ruins. For a little more info, read here.
After a picnic (I made some meat pastries, and brought some apples, red wine, and chocolate - what's not to like?), and a tour of the ruins, we went on a hike through the village and farmland to the north. We picnic'd again, and met a cute little kitten on the way back. Below are some pictures, in no particular order.
