Slovensko!

i have now visited slovakia, the first thing accomplished off the list.

bratislava is only an hour away from vienna by train, so i got there early, blood surging with a week of austrain coffee, excited to see some familiar faces from glacier park. my slovak friends met me at the train station, looking much more dapper than how i knew them in the woods in montana.

andrej and peter were stellar tourguides. we had lunch in bratislava, then took another train to peter's region in the Tatra mountains. spent the evening in Liptovský Mikuláš, sampling oh so much slovak alcohol and some delicious poppyseed and breadcrumb dumplings, then took a bus to peter's home in Liptovský Hrádok.
