Bratislava Slovakia May 3, 2023



 These Slovak sisters were thrilled to be stepping onto our ancestral homeland…as were these Bratislava brothers-in-law. 



Travel tour guide Marian (a Slovakian man) drove us throughout Bratislava pointing out the castle, embassies, churches and new developments along the Danube.

In the old town we walked through St. Michael’s Gate, the last surviving tower of the city wall. 

Slovakia produces some of the world’s best honey from an apiary in Košice - our paternal grandmother Elizabeth’s hometown.


A few unique sights in the square. 




The National Monument to the Slovak National Uprising in 1944 against the Nazis.


The Blue Church  of Saint Elizabeth.


Blooming iris and hosta. 


Evening entertainment of Slovakian and Hungarian melodies. 




Dobrú noc. Good night.
