Nettles: everywhere you want to be



No joke. I was biking along the bike path in Karlovy Vary and these leggy, furry stalks brushed at my ankles. I was running in Prague 9, along the brook in the park, where they grow in choking bunches along the banks, and almost had to plunge into a nasty patch to avoid a band of serious mountain bikers. Under bridges and along the roadway, in the garden and along the walk, CZ has an obscene amount of nettles: everywhere you want to be.
