A Hunky Boy's Dream Come True... REAL Halusky!!!

Fall time in Slovakia

HALUSKY!!!! Yummmmy!

Garlic soup, a traditional slovak soup.

Mary appeared here to a poor man in the 19th century with a message for the Slovakian people.

Walking back from the apparition site. Maria had on heels so I carried her for a little while to give her feet a rest.

Today we spent the whole day in Slovakia. Maria, Jessica, and I started with the castle in Bratislava - these are the main government buildings. We paid a visit to see how the college students live when we visited the student dorm center in Brataslava. There are over 10,000 students who live in this mini-city within-a-city and there is a very large Christian College Community Center where we spent some time. Then, we met up with Sr. Mary Paul and went to a Marian apparition site in the countryside. We had to walk about a half an hour through fields and a small country community. We also had some amazing hot chocolate... literally hot melted chocolate in a mug. Dužinatý! It was a beautiful fall day and the leaves were all changing. We laughed until our sides were splitting.

The highlight of the day was HALSUKY... Real halusky and garlic soup -- my favorite slovak tradition.
