The Morning After

We slept in until 10:00 and had our breakfast at the hotel.  We headed back to the village of Tichy Potok to visit with Monika Heldakova who had been an exchange student with Greg and Karen Kokosh-Doten.  We had a lovely visit with her and her parents.  Todd was able to taste some of the local wine while there.  After our visit with the Heldak’s we saw Lubica’s new pension that she is building in Tichy Potok.  A few (I am using that term very loosely) shots of Slivovice later and we were on our way to Presov to have dinner at Viktoria’s Restaurant in Presov.  The restaurant is owned by Viktor Krusko who is related to some of our parishioners at our church in Minneapolis.




We had another lovely dinner and some wonderful conversation with Viktor and his wife Jarka.  We stopped in his pub next to the restaurant.  By the time we were finished they declared it too late for us to take Todd to Kosice where he was spending the night before leaving to come back to the US.  Viktor and Jarka kindly offered to take Todd to Kosice so that we could head back to Bardejov.  What a relief that was!


If you want to see these photos you will need to check with Todd as they are on his phone!


Oce back in Bardejov around 9:30 Slavo Mlynar came to meet us.  He is a young man from Stebnik and a relative of a mutual acquaintance.  One nightcap and we were off to the end of a whirlwind two days.
