on my next trip to Cozumel. One day sidetrip would be a lot of fun to see.

Český Krumlov is amazing!! I Highly recommend it! I understand why it is added to the world Heritage sites. It is an entirely Medieval city. It still is very well preserved and unlike other tourist destinations it is a tourist haven but didn’t have the feeling of being completely over run. If you visit, just know that to visit the castle, we arrived late and they weren’t accepting any more visitors for the day so we missed seeing the interior. In any case the Baroque Theatre is not open to the public until May 1st. But if you have the chance…go!!

Il Cernacolo – Da Vinci. (Aka: the last supper)
I finished number 53…only 47 to go.
