Coffee Hour, darlings? Y’know, I haven’t had a cup of coffee all week, but that’s not stopping me from putting on a fresh pot of mud for you. Perhaps I’ll have a cup myself in the morning. Please sweeten the brew by dipping into the comments. Promote a diary, a cause, a good deal on a rock crusher. Share your day, your thoughts, your music, your recipes. It’s all good.

This week, to kick things off, I’m hopping back to the first week in August when I took a trip down south.

Dačice

We arrived in Dačice in the early afternoon and checked into our penzion and took a walk through the main square, up the highest hill and around the chateau.

An interesting covered stairway leading to The Church of St. Anthony of Padua

View from the hill looking out into the countryside. The view toward town is all trees.

Dačice’s claim to fame is that the sugar cube was invented here.

My gang resting at a fountain outside the chateau.

People taking pictures of the back of the chateau always stepped in front of this tree.

A quick peek inside. The stairs lead up to a café and small gallery then continue up to the town’s museum on the upper two floors— more on that another day perhaps.

Choosing the back streets heading to the square.

Alas, the local brewery seemed awfully quiet as we walked past.

More photos from that trip next week I’m thinking. Speaking of breweries, I had some more beer label designs to put together for my client these last couple of weeks. It’s no picnic working for two bosses sometimes. The brewery is run by two friends, one handles most of the business end of the business while the other is in charge of the brewing. Occasionally I get frustrated dealing with what I perceive as contradictory instructions from the pair. But hey, who doesn’t enjoy a creative challenge now and then? I’ll try to get the illustrations I did for the labels appropriately resized and ready for posting in the comments.

Thanks for stopping by.
