The highlight of my first full day in Prague was a run through the Šárka Valley nature area in the hills above the Diplomat Hotel where we are staying for the meetings. It is an official nature reserve covering 247 acres of hills and forests with the Šarecký stream running through it. I ran about 6 kilometers of trails through the reserve. The area was deliberately reforested in the late 19th and early 20th century but park officials chose the Black Locust (I have that tree right outside my office in Tashkent!), which is not natural to this area. Conservationists are planting native species like oak, hornbeam and lindens.
The directors met for a dinner at the Three Fiddles Irish Pub after a long day of meetings.
