Fork and Cork

An adventure into the surrounding farmland brought us new friends, and new experiences.
Marc connected with a Facebook Group and found a Cork and Fork Experience and we jumped at the chance to get out of the city and see new things.
For starters our guide for the day couldn’t get into town to meet the group, but we ended up meeting the group ourselves (more accurately the group organically formed up) and we managed to get on the right bus and ride about an hour into the village of xxx where we caught up with our guide and host Tim. We knew we were on the right tour when Tim had a banjo over his shoulder and suggested our first stop should be wine!
What a day we had. Walking and talking, eating and drinking. It turns out that the other two of the other couples on the tour were also American slow traveling nomads. What a shock! We didn’t need to explain our lifestyle and as matter of fact, they had years and years more experience so they explained things to us! We couldn’t have been happier.
Our merry band had a beautiful organic farm-to-table lunch in the pasture at Tim’s sustainable garden. Homemade bread, salad, tomato gazpacho, a thick cauliflower steak and, as the chef was Brazilian, desert was dolce de leche. And of course more wine.
We will try to catch up again with our newly found nomad friends Julie and Steve and Omar and Lannell next week before we all once again head out to the corners of the planet on our individually selected paths, but for one afternoon, in the middle of Hungary, Marc and I were in our perfect place. We were all Living our Slow, Traveling, Best Lives.
Special thanks to Lannell for the extra photos.Read more
