Some Slovak Hospitality: Part II

DISCLAIMER: I’m not sure why, but I haven’t posted anything on this blog in almost a month. For this, I am extremely regretful. Within the mind exists a wild, wild world and living in that world is Memory—a frail creature, indeed. I will do my best to recreate all of these events with the most vividness as possible; hopefully the passage of time will not treat me poorly in my restitution of these memories. I will also try to be more conscious about the inclusion of pictures with my ramblings.

This post starts from whence I left off and, while I am home for the holidays, I will make my most sincere effort to become fully caught up in all my travels. There is a lot to be shared—hopefully you will be interested in reading about it. If not, self-chronicling is a good enough reason for me. Enjoy.
