Road Trip to Kosice





Thursday night we were able to take in a hockey game in our home city of Bratislava, Russia versus Denamark. A goal was just scored in the photo.











Something new to us, the Mexican Wave. Same as the wave in America but with a catchy name.















On Friday we drove through Slovakia to Kosice.









Cheering for the USA against France in Kosice. The fingers should be turned the other way so that there is no confusion as to our intentions.














The fountain in Kosice on the main street, much smaller than the foutains in Las Vegas. With the music and lights it's almost the same.















Tulips in full bloom.


















Natural weed control. Goat in the Kosice Botanical Garden.

















Great view of Saint Elisabeth's Cathedral.
