Street of dreams

Thanks to Mom, Dad, Jen, Greg, Sarah, Jesse, Meg, Brent, and Jill, I am bringing a piece of Banská Bystrica home with me. They gave me a painting! When I am in Denver, I will look at it and remember my favorite part of my favorite Slovak town. I will imagine walking to the stand at the end of the road to buy dried strawberries or papaya. I will remember the sound of the clock tower, ringing seven minutes before the hour. I will think of the accordion player who set my steps to music during every season. I will remember the smiling people who climbed the little hill with ice cream cones and fancy strollers. Dolna Street is beyond charming and I am beyond grateful. My children (and yours) will grow very tired of hearing me talk about the town in the picture. Thank you.
