just hanging out

Another gorgeous weekend here, the weather's been great, even though it's getting colder. I've been so busy lately but I tried to have some fun during the weekend, too. On Saturday I went to a party and on Sunday hung out with Emily, we grabbed lunch and walked up to the castle. Then we went for coffee and cakes. It was a nice, relaxing day. 

weekend in myjava

This weekend I went to Myjava. The weather was gorgeous so I, of course, didn't get much school work done. Well... at least I had fun :) On Saturday, we went for a walk with my mom, aunt Olga, my cousin Lena and her daughter Miška. We took their lab Benny and a kite 'Smily' with us :) We picked some leaves, flew the kite and climbed trees in a cherry orchard. Then I went to see a dance competition for kids with Igor. On Sunday, I helped dad to 'pick' carrots and went to my granparents' house to pick some apples and walnuts. Hope you all had a great weekend!

kalvária

I've been up to my neck in work lately so I decided I needed to take a break and relax a little bit. And that's what I did this weekend while you guys were rocking Moab! We've been enjoying indian summer and the weather has been beautiful, I had to take advantage of that! On Saturday, I went out for coffee and ice cream with Lucia who came to visit and then for hot chocolate with Lubo. On Sunday, Emily and I went for a walk along the river and up to Kalvaria, where there is a church and stations of the cross. There were a few families enjoying the nice weather and kids flying kites. It was a nice walk and I'm glad I got to show Emily another part of Nitra. 

ps: Emily is here with the Fulbright teacher assistant program and is teaching at the university here in Nitra. 

čachtice

I spent this weekend at my parent's house in Myjava. Juro and I went out for beers with some friends on Friday night, then it was raining all Saturday but before I left for Nitra today, my friend Peter (Flexo), his girlfriend Dominika and I went for a little hike. We went to Čachtice castle, which is a ruin now. It is well known because of Countess Elizabeth Bathory, who lived there at the end of 16th and beginning of 17th century. She was accused of torturing and killing young women and girls and imprisoned in the castle. The legend says she bathed in the blood of virgins in order to retain her youth and beauty. 

Even though the castle doesn't have a very good reputation :), it was a nice hike and the weather was perfect. The view was beautiful - everything is so colorful. I love the fall!
