| This is the Lednice Chateau. It was built in the mid 1800s by the Lichtenstein family. |
 |
| The gardens were quite impressive. |
 |
| The castle playhouse. |

| The boys enjoying a little cello music to accompany their gravel play. |
 |
| That big tube thing in the background is the greenhouse. Yes, the greenhouse. |
 |
| A better view of the gargantuan greenhouse. |
 |
| This area is actually a rooftop. Below is a cellar. We think it might be for wine storage. This whole region is a wine making area. |

 |
| The beautiful countryside on the way to Mikulov. |
 |
| The town square in Mikulov. This town used to be the home of a very prominent and important Rabbi. People from all over would come to Mikulov to meet him and learn from him. |
 |
| The boys enjoying the view. |
 |
| The Mikulov castle. It was built originally in the 12th century and then made up nice in the Renaissance. Then the Germans burned it down in WW2. It's been rebuilt to the exact specifications. |
 |
| A field of poppies on the way to the town we're staying in, Stare Mesto Pod Landstejnem. |
 |
| This is it. We're staying in the yellow building in the center. It's a dinky town. Very quiet. The people are very nice and welcoming. We haven't seen or met any other Americans since we were in Beckov. The only tourists are Slovak or Czech. |
