Family Ramblings: September 2007
http://valcovic.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Click each picture to see a larger version. Thursday, September 27, 2007. We’re here and finally settled in Bratislava! We spent a lovely day and a half in Budapest, did a quick tour of the city and Parliament building and left the city by train yesterday. More about Budapest later. Last night we met cousins Ferdinand and Augustin (Gusta). We were surprised to find our wonderful Beata with them! She had stopped by the hotel to meet us. Gusta invited us to Mass on Sunday, and then dinner at his house....

Family Ramblings: Kuty
http://valcovic.blogspot.com/2007/12/kuty.html
Click each picture to see a larger version. Sunday, December 9, 2007. We rented a car and, in two groups, we headed toward Kuty. Not only did we have Ferdinand as a guide, the car came with a GPS (the story was that Rod told the car rental guy about his Slovak grandfather and he threw the GPS in free—don't know if that's true, but we kept urging Rod to tell the grandfather story whenever we thought it might help). We enjoyed the 30 mile trip from Bratislava to Kuty, but were anxious to get there. Family ...

Family Ramblings: Prague

Click each picture to see a larger version. Monday, December 10, 2007. Prague was beautiful and I hope to write more later. For the time being, you may check out the pictures we took. While we were there. I hope to add more captions to the collection in the next few days. Of course, my favorite scenes were architecture, especially the doors and windows. Do we have them here? And occasionally we'd see a sign that we loved, like the sign on the Chinese carry-out(? February 13, 2008 8:49 AM. Bratislava Slid...

I finally filled out the application, got the 2 pictures required and headed to the AAA office to. Get an International Drivers' Permit (don't know if I'll be driving in Europe, but I want to be prepared! Ation form and the 2 pictures.

Family Ramblings: Lenka
http://valcovic.blogspot.com/2007/12/lenka.html
Click each picture to see a larger version. Thursday, December 13, 2007. Lenka is the daughter of Katarina (Katka) and the granddaughter of Ferdinand. She has recently graduated from law school and is enjoying having leisure time. When asked if they would think about visiting us in the US, a number of family members said that they don't fly. Not Lenka! Lenka is the one who loves to travel, and her grandfather said that he has a hard time saying "no" to her, so maybe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

He's been volunteering at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and has enjoyed it a great deal. They have also appreciated having him there, as shown by a feature in their annual report. I'm sure they won't mind that I am "lifting" their text. Saturday, August 18, 2007. A New Wonderful Toy! Larry found the most wonderful thing for our trip!

Click each picture to see a larger version. Friday, March 23, 2007. Another Family Member Found! Beata has done it again! She has found another second cousin of Larry's! This time she was able to track down Dr. Ferdinand Hesek at the University of Bratislava. I don't know what his field is, but have asked him. Won't it be interesting if it's a genetics-related field? Erase them- at least I don't think I did. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Heading to find more pictures and related sites. Another Family Membe...
