10-11 Aug = Drove to Breznička to visit one of Tinaś Grandparents. It is a town of about 150 people. It was a WONDERFUL visit. We arrived at 1110 and walked to the church. It is an eastern orthodox Church where the service is in a Bzyentine Language.
With the Orthodox Priest = Church is 300 years old.
Babka prepared a wonderful homemade chicken noodle soup, roasted chicken, cucumber and onion salad and a wonderful pastry dessert. Pictures in a later post just on food!!
In the afternoon, we visited a small zoo on Strepko and say the oldest tiger in captivitz in the world and several other animals we had never seen in a zoo like a Fosa from Madagaskar and a beagle dog. We also visited a Russian Orthodox and a Greek Orthodox church in town. We had a great walk around the town in great weather and of course more beer!!!
For Dinner, Babka and Jamie cooked Halusky - the traditional dish of Slovakia. It is a tzpe of potato noodle cooked in water then served with a special goat cheese and bacon. WOW!! Loved it and we all gave Babka a big hug and kiss!! and of course more alcohol = vodka and beer
The next morning, all the men, Martin, Matthew, Ditko and James went hunting mushrooms. Basically a long walk in the woods "hunting" with no guns for something that does not move and is already dead??? We got alot of blackberries and a few mushrooms. It was a great 3 hr walk. When we got back, Babka cooked us mushrooms, eggs and onions and of course beer and vodka. For Lunch, yes, Babka cooks alot and just stuffed us - we loved ourt Babka!! Jamie, Kim, Tina and Iveta all made paroghe - a dumpling with potatos (yes, alot of potatos), We said our goodbzes to everyone and headed back 1 hr to Presov. We walked to the new mall across the street from Tina´s, her Mom cooked wonderful Slovak Pancakes - kind of like a crepe with Nutella or Babkaś homemade cherry preserves - yummy, yummy, yummy. We ended the evenning around the kitchen table, talking about everything, beer and great times.
