Žižkov is my neighborhood

Katie is visiting. We saw a blind hussite on his horse, and the TV tower, with David Černy's babies crawling up the sides.

The Czech Union of Chimney Climbers

Boxing day had us accompanying two official members of the Czech Union of Chimney Climbers (number of members:700) to Najdek, where a chimney of 70 meters awaited their ascent. Some of the rules for the club: only chimneys over 15 meters count, you can only climb one chimney per day (the purpose is for the beauty of the view not the quantity of chimneys), no alcohol while climbing, and you must log all your climbs on the official website, which lists all chimneys in the country, their height, gps location and a picture of each. Number of deaths in the chimney climbing club: 1.
