We took the train from Prague to the small city of Frydlant nad Ostravici in eastern Moravia, then a cab to the Hotel Malenovice. It's a really wonderful facility on the side of a mountain, owned and operated by a KAM (Krestanska Academie Maldych), a Christian organization in the Czech Republic. It's the nicest hotel room we've stayed in yet, with a walk-in closet, air jet bathtub, fireplace, sitting room, double bed and balcony with an incredible view (below) that my dinky little camera just can't capture adequately.
We're here because (another long story) my friend in Hamilton, Greg Reader, knows Dave Patty who works for a mission organization in eastern Europe called Josiah Venture. Dave said we should come to Malenovice because there would be an English Camp going on this weekend. JV uses youth camps as a tool for outreach and the purpose of some of those camps, in addition to sharing the Gospel, is to give Czech kids a better knowledge of the English language. More on how that works in another posting.
