What day is it? Oh yes...Wednesday...funny how when you are on vacation the days all seem to melt into one another.
I think I neglected to mention that yesterday we started the day with a visit to the Icon Museum in Bardejov. They have many icons from the past several centuries that have been taken out of churches and displayed very tastefully. They also have models of several of the wooden churches.
We left this morning for our visit to Kosice. We arrived in time for lunch at an outdoor cafe. Nothing special. Except for when Angie ordered a cheeseburger...and that is exactly what she got...cheese in a bun!!! Seems that the cheeseburgers over here are just a little different than the ones back home. They were also served on a pita and not the traditional hamburger bun. Beware of false translations!!! While we were eating one of the Romas in the area crept up behind Angie and scared her before Mike chased him away.
Several of us toured the church of St. Elizabeth but it was a disappointment after seeing the church in Levoca yesterday. The singing fountains were beautiful but there was no music. We spent the afternoon shopping...the guys loved it...yeah right. Polly was able to meet up with her Slovak teacher from the University of Pittsburgh and she gave us an overview of the city.
We had dinner at the El Restaurant in Bardejov Square...one owned by one of Jack Leschisins relatives.
Everyone headed back to their hotels, pensions, internet cafe for an early evening. Tomorrow we visit Presov for our last formal day of touring.

What exactly is a Roma? By the context of it, I'm thinking something like a thief, or maybe some animal? Lol, probably not either of these, but I thought I'd guess anyway! :)
ReplyDeleteA Roma is the politcally correct terminology for a gypsy. They came from East India hundreds of years ago.
