Sunny sunny sunny weather...
31. maaliskuuta 2017, Slovakia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
A whopping 24 degrees in the city yesterday and all the outdoor cafes along the Danube are packed with people. The flowers and trees are all blooming and there are bees everywhere. I took a street I was familiar with yesterday and found the Nedbalka gallery which had an exhibit of Albin Brunovsky, the lithograph artist I fell in love with at the Trencin castle. Amazing work. He was born in Zahor which in close to the Moravian mountains in 1935. Started his career in the sixties as impressionist fantasy. His work was shunned by the communists and in 1989 a large portion of his work was released. He illustrated children's books but the children were to scared to read the books because of the pictures. His art flows from one object and melds into another. After 1989 when communism fell his art became even more bizarre. After the exhibit I had a cappucinno in the cafe upstairs and read books about other Slovak artist and listened to Mozart. A wonderful day alone.Lue lisää

Back in the city
8. huhtikuuta 2017, Slovakia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Left Friday morning with 20 cm of snow on the ground. The train connections were great except for our last train which was late. It seemed like the longest train ride ever because there were delays on the way the police had been called on board for some reason. Unpacked my things and was happy to have some quiet time in my room. Saturday morning we went to the Bory mall for the garden show and I picked up a few tips for my garden when I get home. There was a beautiful orchid and bonsai display.Lue lisää

Easter tradition in Slovakia
17. huhtikuuta 2017, Slovakia ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
Easter holidays are big in Slovakia. Actually bigger than Christmas. Days are celebrated by fasting, then vegetarian day, then a big dinner and finally on Easter Monday the males (especially in the mountain and villages) braid whips out of willow trees and visit local girls and whip them, douse them with water (usually in creeks) and then pour perfume on them. Whipping for good health, watering for longevity, perfume for love and vitality. Lucky girls. Then the men are given hard boiled or blown painted eggs and fed. This tradition I got to experience with my male cousins. I just got dressed and was instantly whipped, watered and doused with perfume. This happened five times.Lue lisää

Fashion in Slovakia 1945-1989
18. huhtikuuta 2017, Slovakia ⋅ ⛅ 3 °C
New exhibit at the national gallery showcasing fashion in Czechoslovakia from 1945-1989. Fashion was considered taboo and so a lot of fashion was conceived through the underground. In the mid 40's women were encouraged to wear overalls and this was considered sexy and practical. In the 60's fashion was homogeneous and everyone wore the same style and colour. Patterns were smuggled in and women shared them to sew their own clothes with adding their own touch of creativity. There was only one fashion show during this entire era and it came from Paris (Dior)and was quickly banned because the women went crazy. The fashion capital of Czechoslovakia at that time was Trencin. In 1989 when communism fell the fashion channels opened and importing fashionable clothes became a big business. Interestingly enough I remember wearing some of those clothes (a pair of generic gym shorts and a snow hat).Lue lisää

Now for something completely different
22. huhtikuuta 2017, Slovakia ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C
Bratislava days and all kinds of action in the city. Free museums, galleries, music and historic plays. I went to the oldest pastry shop in town that was built in 1634, was frequented by Queen Maria Theresia and took over 10 years to restore. Absolutely expensive but absolutely beautiful. Amazing murials, stained glass and toilets. Next was the St. Ladislav chapel, art exhibition of Jozef Drozd(who I actually met and shook hands with) a very old artist, then the home of Johann Nepomuk Hummel (who wrote sonatas with Mozart and Beethoven), and finally the museum of torture. The last venue was morbidly interesting and what amazed me the most was that parents brought their small children to this museum. Something I would never have done. The city had streetcars running from the early 30's but they were super packed and I didn't feel like being crammed in like a sardine so I passed.Lue lisää

Taking a break
4. maaliskuuta 2017, Slovakia ⋅ 🌬 17 °C
Day two in Bratislava and am enjoying having my clothes hung up, laundry done and my own room to sleep in. Went to the cottage yesterday and pruned the apricot tree for aunt. It was super windy but warm and I managed very little scrapes and scratches from pruning. Later in the evening we went to the wine museum for dark craft beer and I was thrilled. Nothing compares to Slovak beer, well maybe Guinness. We laughed our heads off as usual. Today it was 19 degrees and so I managed to drag aunt out for a long walk. Milka made homemade sisky, which are Slovak donuts but super light and fluffy. Going to have to watch the caloric intake here so I don't pack on all the weight I lost these last three months walking.Lue lisää

Lila Jensen Have a nice rest, Jana. It is comforting to have familiar surroundings, space of your own, family and people you know and no language struggles in order to "re-charge". Enjoy.

Packing up and hitting the road
12. toukokuuta 2017, Slovakia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Saying farewell tonight and heading to Martin, north central Slovakia, to spend a couple of days with my cousin Marienka. Looking forward to dusting off my walking shoes and hitting the road again. I'll decide which city to go to in Poland once I'm at my cousins. She has been to Poland regularly and knows it well so she'll be a great guide for me. I've pinpointed a few places that are a definite must and the weather will be warmer too.Lue lisää

Making tracks
16. marraskuuta 2016, Slovakia ⋅ 🌫 0 °C
We set out this morning (with my intention) to do some walking. Took the fast bus to Ikea and then to the Avion shopping mall. I wanted to compare the design styles in Europe and Canada. There was a but if difference but prices are higher here. We left the shopping centre after 3 hours and then headed home, making a stop at the cemetery. My aunt wanted to bus it home but I was adamant in walking because it was so beautiful. I wore here out because by the time we got home she said she wasn't going anywhere else for the rest of the day. Yesterday I took the bus to my aunt Anna's house who lives in a village outside of Bratislava. We walked to a local Italian restaurant had a desert and a glass of wine. We spent about six hours together talking and catching up.Lue lisää
