My exchange school in Hronov

Jan tells me that this is the view of the main school building, sort of across the main square in Hronov. The elementary school takes up the majority of the building, and clearly has the more architecturally interesting part, but it's nice to know that I'll be going to work pretty much in the heart of the town.
This is a closer view of the rear portion of the building where the Hotel & Tourism school is housed. If you're interested in more information about the school itself, there is a link to their website at the end of this post. When you get to their page, if you click on the British flag, all the text will convert to English.

These final two photos show the "canteens" at the school, where students preparing to be chefs or restaurant staff get to practice their skills. One gigantic perk of working at this school is that I can have a three-course lunch in one of these places every day, and my bill at the end of the month will be about $20 US. I am scared for Honza to discover the realities of an American high school cafeteria--I have to think it's going to be more than a tad disappointing.
