Yes! The Czech Republic is famous for its beer. And you can't have beer without hops, right? So, the Czech Republic is full of hops, too! Each year there is a hops festival, celebrating hundreds of years (in fact...420 years) of hops production in the country.
Here we are on arrival. We stopped by the "hops park" first thing so that we could make ourselves a couple of crowns :)
Then it was time to go have our first beer. Here we are sampling a new brew with a couple of our work colleagues.
The festival was packed...which became extremely evident as soon as this guy (aparently the Frank Sinatra of the Czech Republic) started his portion of the musical entertainment. You could hardly move the crowd got so packed!
Another thing the Czech Republic is well-known for is the meat...sausage in particular. At the Hops Festival, there was meat roasting everywhere...and it all smelled really delicious.
Before too long, Hannah found a wig stand & picked out a fairy princess wig to go with her hops crown. Here she is with a couple friends from work. They joined in on the wig trend, too.
In fact, by the end of the night, nearly everyone had picked out a wig...This is just part of the crew that came with our school. It's a really fun group of people :)
