Got Melk? hahahaha

We made it through Melk and are now in the Czech Republic.
The Monastery was cool but nothing what I thought a monastery should
be. This home of the monks was filled to the brim with golds and
technology. They had at least 5 video projectors in one room for a
kind of moving art thing. And the art was pretty bizzaro too. Some
old guy (perhaps a monk, we're not sure) did all of these sculptures
of humaniod figures with huge hands and feet. Weird. They still use
the place as a school for kids, but I'm not sure what they teach
exactly.
The biking tour was fun, except that Bethany hates biking, and didn't
hide that fact for very long. But we got to see lots of the Danube,
which was cool. And we ate at an even smaller village some 4.5
kilometers down the road. So we biked a whole 9 km total. I have no
idea how far that is, but it sure took us awhile (because bethany
doesn't believe in bikes that have more than one speed.) All and all
Melk was a good place to hang out. But now we've moved on to the
mellower Cesky Krumlov
