After a late start, Alina and I cycled to an ethnographic exhibit of decorated eggs and palms, then met her friends. I explored Rynek, admired historic architecture and sculptures, and noted the city’s strong cycling and transit networks there

Bratislava 2 – Day 17-19
There are three trips about which I blogged that I never wrote the final day(s)’ blog posts. There are also a few trips that I didn’t blog about, at all. I’ve decided to cast my mind back, and to write these missing blog posts, inspired by the pictures I took, and my memories of theContinue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 17-19”
Bratislava 2 – Day 16
A moderate amount of rain was falling when I opened the curtains this morning, and was forecast to continue for the whole day.

Michael met with his Slovak language tutor for a couple hours this morning, and I just relaxed in the room. After lunch, we walked to the only remaining city gate. It has been under renovation for a while, but recently reopened. Tickets are purchased in the Red Crayfish Pharmacy building a former pharmacy from the 16th century.Continue reading “Bratislava 2 – Day 11”
November 21, 2015 – Buffalo and The LRT
I have long admired Frank Lloyd Wright and am familiar with his work from books. Alun, my sixteen year old, is interested in architecture, so I suggested to him that we visit The Martin House in Buffalo. We left just after lunch and had an uneventful drive, with less than ten minutes spent at theContinue reading “November 21, 2015 – Buffalo and The LRT”
