Okoř


We had another beautiful day here today. Jason, unfortunately, had to work today but the girls and I took advantage of the day and headed to Okoř. Okoř is an old castle or really it is a castle ruin. The girls and I started out with lunch and then we walked through a field and took some pictures. That was the most I could get before the girls were off to the bouncy castle that was set up on the path up to the real castle. Oh well, I let them take their three minutes in the bouncy castle and then they were ready to explore the ruins. We had to wait a few minutes for the tour to begin which I wasn't thrilled about since I knew the tour was in Czech so it wasn't really going to help me. To my surprise I did understand some of what the tour guide said and was able to explain what some things were to the girls. We had fun walking around the castle and the girls seemed to enjoy it. They thought the old castle toilet was disgusting since it was just a hole in the seat that opened up to the ground far below. I can't say I blame them. I'm just happy we don't live in the time when that was the way of making toilets. After walking around and exploring the different areas of the castle we headed out of the castle and I got the girls some ice cream.
