hana in nitra

On Friday, Hana came to Nitra to hang out before she leaves for Berlin again. We went downtown to see what was going on because there is an International Theater Festival 'Divadelná Nitra', which means not only a lot of plays but there's other fun stuff going on all around the town - concerts and plays in the square, crafts market, activities for kids and so on. We saw a couple of concerts on Friday night and had hot wine and trdelnik! On Saturday, we walked up to the castle (the fall is really here) and then walked around the square. They played the satire 'Gargantua and Pantagruel' outside so we watched that and bought some gingerbread for Mathias :) In the evening, Hana left for Bratislava and I went to Silvo's b-day and Misa's name day party. Too much fun :) On Sunday, I went for a walk. I went to the park - leaves are already turning yellow - and read by the river till the sun started to set. It was a beautiful sunny fall day.

fam get-together

The impossible finally happened! Our family was able to get together in the same space-time. Under the assumed name of 'Hana's graduation party' we met, ate and drank a lot and had fun. It actually was Hana's graduation party, even though she finished school two months ago. But with half of us being all over the world last year, there were a few events we missed out on so it actually was the first whole-family party in a long time and we kind of included everything that we hadn't celebrated together. It doesn't matter what the reason was anyway, it was really nice to see all those guys again. Altogether it made 18 adults (Tinka didn't make it) and 3 kids. If anyone is interested, I can add the family tree later :) It all took place at this restaurant we call The Flintstones' - it's supposed to look like a cave and all. And they have 'skittles' - kind of bowling- so we played and especially the kids had a blast with that. Then in the evening Hana, Juro and I went to the teahouse in Myjava with some friends. It's a cool place to chill.                                                                                                                               

                                                                                                                        

javorina

Today, we went on a hike to Velka Javorina. Tinka and her friend Hanka went backpacking and are spending the night out there to do more hiking tomorrow. Hana, Mathias, Juro and I joined them for just today. The weather was great, it finally cooled down after it was in the 90s for more than a week. The fall is on the way, yay! 

Dnes sme sa vybrali na turistiku na Javorinu. Tinka a jej kamoška Hanka tam aj prespali a zajtra dávajú ďalšiu časť Bielych Karpát. Juro, Hana, Mathias a ja sme sa k nim pridali aspoň po Javorinu. Počasie bolo super, konečne sa ochladilo a už sa zjesenieva :)
