Brno baby Brno, disco inferno! (Part 2)

Okay, we didn't go to a disco or the various night clubs decorating the streets, but we did see some pretty neat things. One of my favorite European activities is just walking along and noticing. Back home I didn't get the chance to just sit back and enjoy things. It was a constant rush of get this homework done, run to work, get a workout it, call someone, fill this out, mess. Here, I have free time to stroll the streets, enjoy the architecture, and if I see a fancy cake in the window, you can bet I'm going in that store and devouring some cake!

So that was one of the first things we did.

This was a cappuccino dort and rose wine. Brno is in Moravia, which is like a region in Europe, and Moravia is very famous for its wines.

After we had some cake, Ty, Susan, and I went to explore the city, while the other three went on a tour of some underground caverns. 

It seems like almost all of the buildings have art. This is just a snapshot of one of them.

Another great piece of art just hanging out on a building for everyone to enjoy. And the best part is that this art is free to see.

We had to stop to take a picture of this dog just chilling out in the window. He was kind of sitting like Chopper, Ty's family's Cha-weenie sits. The girls who owned the dog noticed us taking a picture of their dog and started giggling at us, and took pictures of the silly Americans admiring their dog.

A picture of my husband and I by a statue we saw. But it was kind of a fail because you can't hardly see the  statue. But man, look at those legs!

There were multiple beautiful spires all over the city.

Another one of those zany Czech ads. But man, that meat looks good!

This was a wonderful clock tower.

My friend Susan and I enjoyed this ghetto gator. :)

What?? It ate me!

This clock is literally called the "Cock Clock." I'll let you figure out why.

This kid was just way too cute to pass p taking a picture. All of the kids here are so adorable, and most of them are very well behaved. We haven't had to deal with a screaming baby yet.

Susan and I by a neat statue in a little park in town.

Just like any city, pigeons are everywhere, and they're not shy at all. Ty actually made a new friend on the trip that followed him around for about a block and a half.

That night we went to a restaurant we found while we were walking around. It was an obscure classy restaurant, that was in a basement. You had to go down the stairs and you entered this beautiful looking room with a string quartet that played while you ate. It was by far one of my best dining experiences, simply because of the ambiance.

They had menus in English... and apparently served boiled grandmas... yummm!

This is what I ended up with. Soup made of grandmas, mashed potatoes with bacon and parsley, and brnopramen, Brno's version of Staropramen dark beer.

With our bellies full we went back to the hostel and enjoyed the rest of our night. We had another big day of sightseeing planned!
