       On July 2nd, we took another trip to the forest and castle owned

by the Czech University of Agriculture, Forestry Faculty.  This time

we spent the entire day in the woods, examining silvicultural systems, 

the school's arboretum, as well as attending a garden party barbeque

where we enjoyed roast pig and sausage as well as some excellent

accordian music and singing.  The weather was gorgeous... sunny, 

breezy, and about 68 degrees.  The day was among the best on

record.  Everyone enjoyed the time in the woods and the cultural

experience of sharing food, drink, and music with the Czechs.
