magnificent it is\u00a0to be in a place that shimmered like the surface of a pearl!<\/p>\n<p>The way up was a pleasant experience as well.\u00a0 I talked for a while with members from the UK delegation who were all pleasurable to talk to.\u00a0 Prior to the trip I had a certain anxiety about interacting with people, and after it is all over I am proud to say my confidence really increased.\u00a0 Once we got to the entrance to the cave, our delegation had a huge snowball fight.\u00a0 We were having so much fun in our folly while the other delegations smiled at us, amused that we were enjoying snow as much as we did.\u00a0 As Floridians, an opportunity like this does not come by very often.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11148\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11148\"

stalagmites tacitly spoke about a lengthy history of erosion.\u00a0 Our tour guide was insecure about her English, but she was doing perfectly fine.\u00a0 The most intriguing aspect about this cave was a formation that hung from the ceiling which looked like an elegant piece of drapery.\u00a0 A light shone upon it to illustrate that it was translucent.\u00a0 It is difficult to imagine such a

caves, we went to Bouzov Castle, a castle made for observing the trade routes among Olomouc and other as well as a stronghold for protection and capture during periods of conflict.\u00a0 It looked like something out of a storybook.\u00a0 We were shown into the various rooms of the castle, seeing windows architecturally built in a way to convenience archers preparing for attack, a kitchen and dining room prepared in a way for the Christmas holiday, and rooms containing secret staircases.\u00a0 The Christmas mannequins stuck out to me as they were strange depictions of frightening monsters.\u00a0 On the chandelier in the dining room was a witch riding on her broom stick, something I have seen all throughout Prague as well.\u00a0 I never received a clear answer as to why there were so many witches, but later I found out that witches are a huge part of Czech folklore and that every April 30 a major holiday called \u201cWalpurgisnacht\u201d is celebrated involving festivals and the burning of witch effigies.\u00a0 For a brief few hours in the day, we strutted like royalty.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11153\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11153\" style=\"width:
