Our second to last weekend we all traveled to Karlovy Vary, a spa town in the Czech Republic. Even our Czech buddies came along! It was good to spend time relaxing in the sauna, Jacuzzi, or massage room before hunkering down for our finals.

We first went to the Moser Glass Factory, where we got to see glass being melted, blown, and shaped. Moser is a world-renowned brand in glass production, and we got to see some incredible works of glass.

On Saturday night, we did the mineral water tour in the town, visiting and tasting various mineral water fountains. We all bought our own mineral water tasting cups, and had fun tasting the mineral water. Some enjoyed it more than others as the water had a strong, unique taste.

On Sunday, some of us went on a hike in the hills of the town. The hike surrounded us with beautiful fall colors and provided some breathtaking views of the whole city at various lookouts.

Throughout the weekend everyone enjoyed the spa features of the town and our hotel. Whether time was spent in the spa, walking around the town, or hiking, it was a relaxing last trip as a program.
