A Low Tatra Mishap

After teaching in Sabinov, Lisa and I were instructed to travel to Rosina, a small village outside of the larger city of Žilina. This is an easy enough journey. But we decided that, for the weekend, we would stop at a destination that is almost exactly halfway along the route. Liptovský Mikuláš is a medium-sized town and is conveniently located in a valley (next to a sizeable reservoir) directly between the High Tatra and Low Tatra mountain chains. Since we have explored the High Tatras quite often (and had done so again just one week earlier), we figured it would be a good opportunity to delve into the world of the Low Tatras.

Spring (Or Summer?) Is Here!

Back in December, Lisa and I were stationed in Sabinov, Slovakia so that we could teach in a nearby village called Ražňany (check out the end of my post “A Familiar Face in Prague” to read about that week.) Recently, our company sent us back to Sabinov for another week of teaching. Luckily for us, the job was actually in Sabinov this time. So, this meant that, instead of taking a bus early in the morning, we could walk to school from our accommodation in about five minutes. Additionally, Sabinov was a blistery, frozen winter abyss the first time we were there, so it was nice that the town would have an opportunity to redeem itself.

Happy New Year! Hope all of your resolutions are either going terrifically or have already come to a quick conclusion so that you can continue living happily—as you probably were before.

Lisa and I were scheduled to travel to northeastern Slovakia after our week teaching in Tábor. Since we had revisited Bratislava the weekend before, we decided that we should see Prague one more time before heading home for the holidays.
