@Lance For years I swore I'd return to live there. I loved it that much. Reality took over, though, and I decided that I really couldn't because of my obligations at home, but it made a deep impact on how I viewed the world, especially after I visited England and Scotland a few years later.

I'm fairly certain that people were kind to me because I'm a stoopid American and looked like a lost sheep, but people's enthusiasm for Sharing their local knowledge with me was a lot of fun. I know that people are different everywhere you go, but something about the place stayed with me. I credit it for starting my enthusiasm for studying the middle ages in Bohemia and the surrounding provinces.
