Welcome to Eastern Europe

I'm sitting in a bar in Bratislava. That's in Slovakia, for those who don't know. And yes, Mel, it IS the city where the horror movie "Hostel" takes place. Funny, too, I'm staying in a total whole in the wall place - but it's really cozy. And the people are nice. :) I'm rooming with two Hawaiians - a father and daughter, I think - and there are four or five Mexicans in the next room. I feel right at home!

I wandered the streets of the old town today. It's strange because it's at the same time easy to get lost and easy to find your way. No one speaks English, but signs are in English.

I had a Slovakian specialty for dinner - don't ask me what they're called, but they're basically cheese raviolis covered in ham and sour cream. Really good, but I'm glad I walked a lot today cuz it was heavy.

Tomorrow it's off to Budapest!
