Italian Dolomites

At the beginning of September we took a quick weekend trip down to the Italian Dolomites region of Italy. The Dolomites are a beautiful mountain range in the northeastern part of Italy. I couldn't believe it was just a quick 3 hour drive from Munich. We did two hikes throughout the weekend and it was so much fun.

Trying all the kolaches and pastries at a local farmer's market. This isn't a huge touristy thing to do in Prague as it is a little bit outside the main area but this was probably our favorite thing we did while in Prague. The market was right on the water wit
