Poprad, Slovakia, part 2

Our last night in Slovakia coincided with Peter's birthday, so we were able to attend the celebration. The festivities began with the Canada-Slovakia World Cup hockey game and continued on into the night. I think I made a favorable impression by first cheering for the Slovak team, then drinking every vodka shot I was given, and finally attempting to speak what little Slovak I had picked up in the previous few days. Everyone seemed to be entertained by my efforts, or maybe it was just the vodka.

The following morning, we said goodbye to our kind hosts and drove off with Pavel and Antonia to Jilemnice, Czech Republic.
