Sunday in Bukova, Bratislava, SLOVAKIA

















found this box at an art fair in a park in Bratislava (see below) Les with statue


Hello friends

the chuch bells stopped at 9 every night. they were loud and would have turned anyone into a raving lunatic - thank you monks who stopped at 9.

we are here in the tatra mountains in bukova, slovakia ... the birds are singing, we are at Daniella and Eduardo's house which they just bought a couple months ago. it is big, really big, maybe 4 rooms. it is surrounded by a garden and this garden is surrounded by mountains which are green and full of trees. there is no sound other than the birds, words drifting from someone talking in another room and the soft sound of a tv program in the background - the program is about dinosaurs and Peter tells me it was the first "Jurasic" park type movie, made here, about dinosaurs ... it is quite well done considering it was made in the 50's.

the breakfast spread this morning and the dinner spread last night was too much. different breads and cheeses and sausages and hard boiled eggs and ham. and a special poppy seed dessert which Daniela made herself.















we went to Bratislava today. It is small and the downtown center is really really special. there is artwork that is funny like MAN AT WORK and a MAN WITH CAMERA statue on a corner and the world distances on a sphere in the sidewalk. lots of history. i thoroughly enjoyed it !
