Well, I have Bitcoin content, too, but thank you for the shout out!
Hey man, those little buggers can be dangerous, though.

Food doesn't count against you while you are traveling.
Atheist, that's what I told myself while I was in CZ.
And considering that women don't drink a lot there, and children don't drink at all, that's an incredible amount of beer for some men to bring that average up so high.
One hotel we stayed at goes through an average of 172 liters of beer for every man, woman, and child who stays there each year.

I have it on good authority that this is 100% accurate.

Back stateside, but still making my way home after some delays.
Will have quite a lot of photos and such to share when I finally get back, and a lot of new Nostr things to play with, too.
@nprofile…vljg I am sure you have been busy while I was in CZ 🇨🇿.

Meant "patriarch"... dang leftist autocorrect.
I am the patriarchy of my family.
Many will balk at that statement, but my wife and daughters love and respect me enough to gladly follow my lead.
That does not mean I am perfect, as I often make mistakes. That is why I LISTEN to them and take their perspectives into account.
But at the end of the day, whether I go with their suggestion or not, the responsibility for the outcome rests on my shoulders, as God intended.
Men: Lead by sacrificial service and loving, prayerful, shepherding of your home, not lording it over those under your charge, but lead you must.

I have so many pictures to share... Taking 200 or so every day. Just need more time to post them when I get back home.
Looking out from Karlštejn Castle.
I really liked the style of yhe iron bar used here. It was the only one I saw quite like it.

Not yet. On a train headed that direction.
You went to school in CZ?
So, who wants more castles?

This is Karlštejn Castle, built in the 14th century by King Charles IV of Bohemia, who became the Holy Roman Emperor. For a time it housed the Imperial Crown Jewels.
The castle has been beautifully preserved in a form similar to how it would have looked in the medieval period when it was built.
Spent the entire day wandering around Prague.
Time for a photo dump? I think so.

Definitely bookmarking for later!
Comgrats, Derek! 20 years is huge!
Just celebrated 20 with my wife in May, as well.

This statue comemorates Jan Hus, a Bohemian proto-reformer of the 14th century who preached in Czech at Bethlehem Chapel in Prague. This was unheard of during his day, when mass was held only in Latin, which most common men did not understand.
He was burned at the stake in Constance, Germany on July 6th, 1415 because, inspired by John Wycliffe, he wanted the Bible to be available in the language of the people and because he preached against indulgences, and other errors and corruption in the church.
The inscription on the base of the statue says, "For the Truth."
If you're ever in Zbraslav, a suburb to the south of #Prague, I highly recomment this little spot to stop in for some good food and pay with #Bitcoin.

We just happened to stumble upon it when looking for somewhere close by to eat, but they are already listed on @nprofile…h3zv as well.

Yes! Using my own Lightning node.
Sitting here in the Czech Republic on my tablet and managing my node at home in the US as easily as if I was on my local network.
Start Tunnel + Wireguard is incredible!
Agreed. I don't think I could have fit any fries in my belly along with that burger, though.
Of course! Via @nprofile…m7rj Go with NWC to my own lightning node at home!
The food is great, too!

Went to find a little place in Zbraslav to have lunch and was pleasantly surprised to see this sign.

Thanks! I knew it was one of the other two castles that make up a triagle around Sušice, along with Rabí.
Castles aren't the only things worth seeing in Czechia. Found this building in the town square in Sušice.

Another castle! Did not have time to visit this one. Just saw it from afar.

An incredible experience, for sure.
The tour was given in Czech, so I missed most of it, but I took pictures of the tour book to read later.
The surrounding countryside viewed from the top of the keep at Castle Rabi.

We intend to visit a few more next week, so I will hopefully have more to share then.
Anyone like castles? Visited Castle Rabi today; one of the largest medieval ruins in the Czech Republic.

Yeah, I should have expected that. 😂
I don't really know who would be considered top of the line for leather open-carry holters. I stick with level 3 retention for open-carry.
