Three's Company

Greg made it safe and sound. We've been showing him the sights in Banská Bystrica. We woke up this morning and headed to the Museum of the Slovak National Uprising. During the Nazi occupation, Slovaks resisted in Banská Bystrica. It is a big source of national pride. Many towns have squares and streets named after the uprising. The museum looks like a UFO. It was called "the best museum in the country" in Jen's guidebook. We weren't disappointed. The museum was filled with artifacts and the information was printed in English and Slovak.

We walked through the town and stopped for a kebab. We ordered mini kebabs and expected meat on a stick. It was more like a sandwich. We sat in the sunny square and watched people pass. The clock always plays a song at about 7 minutes before the hour. Every time we hear it, we smile. Jen and Greg went to a movie while I taught a few lessons. The Waldos definitely make Slovakia a nicer place to be.

Is Greg holding the "mini" kabob? Holy smokes, it's gigantamongous.

Yes, Fran! That's a mini kabob. The portions here can be pretty overwhelming. (I love your adjective, by the way.)
