czech town Hosin

Our journeys in the Czech republic have been, for the most part, different than our visits to other European countries... we have focused on the smaller towns rather than the larger tourist cities...When you visit small towns like Hosin you are not exactly sure Where you are or Why you are there or even exactly When you are.. as time does not work like it does in the cities... there is a saying by Paul Theroux who said "tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going." for us traveling the small towns has been much like that.... what we have heard and read about eastern European countries is nothing like the feeling and experience of traveling the back roads and small towns where the people are delightful and real and don't often care about where they are going because, in their minds they are already there.... besides you know what they say about small towns... "when you don't know what your doing, someone else does."

  1. So which of these houses do they keep the hose in ? What if someone wants to water his garden?

  2. Reminds me a little of what Estonia was like almost 20 years ago. I think you should visit more small towns more often.
