This is the path I take to get to the bus stop. The guy on the bike is Sarp. Vaida and I were on our way to the city centre, and they joined us.
This is Vlcie hrdlo bus stop. I know. Very interesting. At least now you know where I face the Bratislava winter cold every morning. (I do wear gloves, no worries)
This is part of the city centre. There is a lot of interesting architecture here, and in Old Town.
This is the KEBAB!!!!!!!!!! There are tons of these places around the city. The kebabs are REALLY good (at least I think so, but Sarp maintains that in Turkey they are much better). They are open pretty late into the night on the weekends, so they make for a good in-between pub/club meal. Spicy and savory with fresh veggies. Yum.
Some more fun city-centre architecture. This is on the way to St. Micheals Gate, one of the hot-spots in Old Town
This is me hanging out with Napoleon, a statue in the square outside of my office. There are a couple other statues around the centre, including a guy coming out of a man-hole. It's fun watching tourists react to them.
This is how we dry our clothes, because there are no dryers. It's inconvenient for space in the room, but I guess it's better for your clothes in the long run.
This is my Danish Beauty, Inge. She has given me the nickname "Miss America". I love it.

Thank you for the tour! Bratislava appears to be a charming city. I like the path to the bus stop to the city centre sequence. Makes me feel like I'm walking along with you. And the Napolean statue is cool. Why would they have used him for that piece of public art, as opposed to a Slovak figure from history?
Mr. Kebab, eh? Cound be addicting.
Back to dorm life, and drying clothes on a line. Is there a laundry in the neighborhood? In Paris, I used to walk down the street with all my clothes in a pillow case. The French were entertained.
Why do you and your sisters love to take contorted face pictures?! And now you're spreading the practice to Europe! Say Hi to Inge, Justina and Vaida. Hope we get the chance to meet them.
Please stop showing off your tongue, unless you do the W. Your roomies are gorgeous. Do they have boyfriends as well? I am sure many heads turn as you walk through town. Will they be there through the summer so we can thank them for tolerating our tempermental daughter?
temperamental

Dad said "cool" :)
I can just imagine his enthusiastic pronunciation, just like grandpa.
We have such a stellar family.
Oh, your pictures are pretty too.
Well the girl in the middle is very pretty (!!!) - I can assured it, otherwise she would not be my girlfriend :)
