Czech It Out

My husband and I returned in May from a 14-day driving trip in the Czech Republic. While we were not on bicycle paths, we were in many of the same places that Cindy Ross wrote about (and others equally as obscure) in her article “Czech Trek” (July 19).

We never had a problem finding food for my non-red-meat-eating husband. He had excellent trout and acceptable chicken everywhere. Unlike Ross, we had no problem finding green salads (all made with ubiquitous butter lettuce) or tomato-and-onion salads. They simply had to be ordered a la carte. (Food outside of Prague and the spa towns is amazingly inexpensive because of the strong U.S. dollar. We had trouble spending more than $10 on dinner for the two of us.)

This country is too beautiful and unspoiled to miss even if you only eat fish and don’t speak a word of Czech.
