Sight-seeing sisters

Jen's here! I can't tell you how I laughed when I saw her step off the bus. It's been nice to share my town with my big sister. We have a long list of goals for the trip. Last night, we started by going to Evijo Pizzeria, the best pizza place in Banská Bystrica, and by drinking some thick hot chocolate. It was a delicious start. Today, we climbed the clock tower. We could see the quaint square from a new angle. We also celebrated Jen's Meniny (Name Day). I took Jen to my other favorite pizza/sandwich place. I like it because you can point to what you want and the man who works there tries to speak English. It always makes my day. Jen went with me to two classes today where we discussed marriage and attraction. We were eager to discuss the differences between our countries but found there weren't many. We all had similar views. After class, Jen and I made soup in bread bowls for dinner. It is a meal that will be recreated for all future guests. More adventures to come!

Wow, except for the giant Coca-cola ads, that square is gorgeous. Is it far from where you live?

Hello Mandy. How are things in Banska Bystrica? You may wonder who I am...well I have my Google Alerts set to any news about Banska Bystrica and that is how I found your blog. You might wonder who would be interested in a town at the CENTER of the world, well maybe Europe at least :-) The answer is obvious EVERYONE, but in my case I originally come from there, so its a given. I read through your Blog and find it very positive and cute and (I am looking for the right word here ) BUBBLY! I am glad that you are enjoying the experience and look forward to your future logs.
