Fellow foreigners

On my first Waldo-less weekend, I decided I needed to get out of town. Yesterday, I headed to Banská Štiavnica to see the town's two castles. I was planning to make a solitary trek around town and head home... Who knew that I would spend the evening learning to make crêpes from two French guys?!

At the bus station, I was asking for directions to the town square. I found Benoît and Quentin. They are from the north of France and are studying in Bratislava for the year. We walked around the old mining town. I read that it is the most beautiful town in Slovakia. And it was a lovely town, but I think Banská Bystrica is even nicer. We saw the Old and New Castles and a small mining museum.

They rode the bus home with me and we played poker with Reese's Pieces. Benoît won with a full house. I taught them to play Old Maid and Spoons. We made crêpes with jam and Nutella for dinner. I flipped a few myself. It was an unforgettable experience!
