I spent Thursday night with Simona and her mom in their family cottage. We took a bus for about an hour and walked 40 minutes farther to reach it. I was expecting a large tent made of bricks... I was amazed by the reality. It was a beautiful home, lacking only electricity and running water. Simona's grandfather spent ten years building it in his spare time. We played cards and relaxed in the sun. And, of course, we feasted. I slept like a rock. On the way home, we stopped at a koliba to have Kofola. It's a Slovak cola that tastes perfect on a hot day.
Today, there was a halušky competition in Turecká, a neighboring village. Teams of four made and ate huge quantities of bryndzové halušky as quickly as possible. It was hilarious. Simona and I cheered for this team.
Bryndzové halušky is the national dish of Slovakia. It consists of potato dumplings, sheep's cheese, and bacon.

That is great. I love Simona. Did they have to eat all that food when they were done cooking it?
How many days? Not that many!!
I love you.
They had to eat it all. The winning team did it in less than 2 minutes!
27 days!
