PARTAYYYY!!!
Bahhhh just kidding- instead I became best-ies with my 82 year old Landlords that live on the bottom level on our apartment building- legit.
Let me break it down for you. LENKA + VIKTOR are our landlords for our sweet, humble apartment here in Karlovy. And humble it is! Me + Dust don't need alot of space so it works for us::even the 8 flights of stairs to get to our door... and the short 10 minute vertical incline up the hill from downtown... we will stay trim AND we cant complain when we wake up to a amazing sunrise and a WICKED sunset...

Lenka + Viktor were born in 1929 + have lived here in Karlovy for all their years...with many travels of their own, atleast so we were told at our TRADITIONAL CZECH LUNCH they hosted for me & Chels Saturday. Iam a vegetarian (borderline vegan) and was tempted to say something to them- but instead thought that was rude so I rolled the dice!
Our Czech lunch they started with::
BECHEROVKA- a liquor made with the water only in Karlovy Vary and is said to improve your digestion! The Czechs think it is good to drink two shots a day for your health! Who knew..maybe thats why a 10-pack of beer is $4..
To follow the Becherovka we had a BROTH soup with a red Czech WINE. I am not a fan of red wine but this was SO smooth and yummy, it was perfect to wash down the Becherovka. The main course was PORK, a BREAD DUMPLING, SAUERKRAUT and sliced POTATOES.

I felt a little rude + embarrassed but I just couldn't manage to eat the pork :( Chelsea was a trooper and polished her plate for the both of us ;)
Dessert was a PLUM CAKE that was incredibly delicious and coffee.
[me+Lenka after yoga...yes she did yoga with me!]
Lenka + Viktor are both so kind and just wanted us to feel at home! They were so helpful and Iam so grateful for them! It reminds me the impact that a single person can have on one person's life....
"treat others the way you would like to be treated"...
still stands strong!
