steves: moving on, we enter the region of bohemia. this part of the czech republic, closest to germany, is much-appreciated for its pastoral countryside, and floating a few hours down the vltava river through bohemian forests and villages, you see why. families and gangs of friends enjoy multi-day river trips. these guys aren't letting a little rain dampen their spirits. anyone passing through can rent a canoe and enjoy a paddle, short or long. float companies pick you up and drop you at convenient and scenic spots of your choice. going with the flow takes you to my favorite stop in the czech countryside outside of prague, cesky krumlov. the enchanting town of cesky krumlov, buried in the hills of bohemia, lassooed by its river, and dominated by its castle, feels lost in a time warp. its delightful old town of shops and cobbled lanes, characteristic little restaurants, and easy-going canoeing options makes it a favorite with tourists. and there's no shortage of accommodations. our home is the castleview apartments. plush and thoughtfu

decadence was manufactured by the writers and artists of the time in order to fit into the mold of bohemia there real decadence in the sense that we see it as a deteriorating society, and so forth? from our viewpoint today, no, it was a very creative period of time-- of manufactured decadence. (narrator) this exuberant, anarchic world was lautrec's home, workplace and subject of his greatest work-- an oasis of pleasure in a troubled country. france, around 1890, was a very tense society. the republic planned to make big reforms, but was slow in doing so. so the broad mass of the middle classes were holding change back, and the working classes were feeling restless. lautrec, as an aristocrat, was rather outside this tension, but that gave him the opportunity, the position, to look at what was going on and observe it in his art. (narrator) he painted montmartre's types-- the working class women eager to pose for cash. and he began to frequent and paint its public spaces and entertainments-- including its circuses. a staple of popular entertainment in the 19th century, the circus was much lov
