There isn't much to Liberec, but that doesn't mean that it is any less beautiful. Matus and I ventured out to Jested yesterday that overlooked the whole city and it was just breathtaking. After snapping a few pictures, we headed back to the center of Liberec and saw the Liberec Town Hall. I would say this is the hidden gem of this city. It's tucked away in the center and when you are walking you just turn the corner and then BAM! There is a stunning gothic architectural building that it just huge! We spent our lunchtime sitting on the grass with sunbathers laying about and a small peaceful lake in front of us. It is so amazing that the little places we go to hold so much beauty and mystery. Come nightfall...that's where things got interesting. The first pub we went to was called Zoo Bar and that's where I had my first encounter with Hruskovice which is a Czech pear brandy. Let me tell you, Hruskovice did me real dirty that night. I've never had a shot that felt so so warm going down...a couple shots later and I was having a party, with myself of course because Matus had to drive later. Needless to say my first few nights in the Czech Republic have been beyond perfect. I've had the most wonderful tour guide and the most wonderful time exploring and seeing everything I can. It's only been a couple days and I don't want to leave. And I haven't even gotten to Prague yet!
This weekend I move into my apartment for USAC and I get to meet all the awesome students that I will be sharing this semester with. There are so many things to look forward to and I've never felt so excited.

Prehrada is the small park where we had our drinks and enjoyed the view and perfect weather.
My very first Hruskovice.
