All Saint's Day
Posted on Friday, November 11, 2011 | 2 Comments
In Austria All Saint's Day is an observed holiday, meaning there is no school or work. Yeah! So a group of us decided  to spend our little holiday going to Bratislava, Slovakia. As my dear friend Shelly Faber so eloquently described it, whilst referring to the saying that "Bratislava and Vienna are twin cities", "Bratislava is Vienna's poop." A very pretty poop, quite quaint. But... yes. You get my drift.  
Essentially... we played on playgrounds (as always)...


...we climbed on things...


...saw some old building and churches...


...saw some old castle ruines...



...and ate some delicious chocolate cake and drank the thickest hot chocolate I've ever tasted at a cute little chocolaterie.

Bri's a little excited about the hot chocolate.
I did get my sister a Christmas present and it was nice to visit Slovakia. The food was cheap, and we got to see a little bit more of the world, which always puts me in a great mood.
