Being a tourist :)

So, I finally decided to do a little bit of sight seeing. Yesterday, I ventured out on my own to visit the square in C. Budejovice. Though it was sprinkling, I enjoyed my little adventure. I climbed the clock tower and viewed the city from above...absolutely beautiful!
Then, today, Eva and I ventured out to visit the castle in Hluboka. Here's a Czech lesson for you. In Czech, "Hluboka" means "deep." Hluboka possibly derived its name from a deep well that used to be on the property. (I learned this from the English tour I took of the castle.) The weather was cold, but Eva and I had a good time. I really enjoyed spending time with her as well as getting to see another beautiful sight of the Czech Republic.
This is the view of the square in C. Budejovice from the clock tower.


In the middle of the square in C. Budejovice stands this monument. I'm not sure if it represents anything or not. To the right of the picture, you'll see the clock tower I climbed!

This is Eva and I in front of the Hluboka castle.

The Hlubka Castle - absolutely beautiful and quite fascinating!

This is me enjoying the fall weather.

Hey Jen!

I love the pictures--especially of that castle. It was awesome. I love how the Lord is working in your life and your new friends too! We are thinking of you and praying for you. Claudia,my sister (in the Lord), and her husband are now in charge of Parkwood's prayer ministry and they are praying for you as well as for a team that is leaving for Kenya. I am in awe of how you can immerse yourself into the Lord's work without letting homesickness take over. The Lord has really chosen you for a special work. May the joy of the Lord be your strength always.

Hey Jennifer!

I am thrilled for the lessons God is teaching you and us through your ministry in the Czech Republic. I continue to pray for you as you form friendships that will last for eternity. The pictures of the castle and square are fantastic.

Love,
