Ahoj Slovakia!

Very cool, of course love the steps on the hike.  I won't junk up Kerrick's cool thread with the embedded video, but if anybody's interested, check this one:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbtZfzxX44o

And color me shocked, shocked, I tell you, that there could be an engagement in the near term!  Congrats to both of course, if/when that comes along (and we'll miss you bro).

Here are some picture highlights from my trip.  I posted these on FB plus more, so if you really want to see more pictures, go ahead and add me on Facebook.  Unless you're a total weirdo, I'll probably accept. 

Here's us up top of the bell tower in the main church in Kosice:

Glory to God. I'm glad things went well.

That is awesome!

He'll accept weirdos, he accepted my friend request.

I'm so sorry. You know, there's a place were you can get help?

Looks like a nice place. If I were there I would have been temped to visit some of the other countries as I am a WWII buff. I love history and there is so much there (and I don't call myself a "fan" of WWII and the Holocaust because I am not, I am just interested in reading up on it). I know Germany invaded Slovakia in 1944 and deported the Slovakian Jews to the death camps in Poland. I probably would have spent a day in Slovakia looking for old timers and listening to their stories of what they saw. 

Anyway, looks like you found a keeper! Best of luck to you and good for you to keep it going may miles apart! You can't add me as a friend because I guess I am a weirdo that doesn't have FB.

The government isn't hiring at the moment.

Thank you.    I'll be sure to announce here once we're engaged.

For sure.  Being from the US (California, no less), we don't have much of anything over 200 years old... but in Europe, there's so much history that goes thousands of years back; it's really neat!
