A car along with some wonderful words in Czech (Ahoj = hello!) and a bus ticket.  Sadly the bit of Czech currency she sent with the card didn't make it in the torn envelope.

Czech Republic


Karlštejn Castle, Czech Republic

If you're in the Czech Republic near Prague, it is worth a drive up to this castle.  The large center tower acts almost as a keep where, if the castle was under attack, people could run to as a last line of defense.

The small village around the walk up to the castle was filled with quaint restaurants and store selling all sorts of things.  The only thing that ruined the time was one college-age-girl in our group spending an obscene amount of money to call their boyfriend back home and explaining that she didn't realize that the bar she went to the night before was a gay bar.  (Because, clearly, that's just what you want to hear about walking up to a castle dating back to the 1300s!)
