27 July ’04, Tuesday. Rain, what else can I say except…Rain. We have had 2 full days now of rain and it is also quite cool as well. Just about 10 km outside of Poprad it started and has continued. This morning we broke all records and stayed in bed until just after 10am. After a lazy breakfast, a shower, a quick pick up of the van, we headed into town to hit the internet café again and have a late lunch. Last night I had pre-written about 8 emails so I wanted to get them off before they became old news. On the way back to the campgrounds we went up into the High Tatra. The clouds were right down on us so we weren’t able to see the mountains, but we did see the reason that so many find this “the” place to hike and play all year around. The facilities were just fantastic. Wonderful hotels, pension’s, restaurants, and everything you could ever want while on the mountain, hiking or in the winter, skiing. Oh yes, and it is really reasonable.
Well, I’ve got to mention something about our lunch today. We decided to take in a Mexican (yes, Mexican) restaurant. Now, here we are right in the middle of Slovakia and the sound of a hot and spicy Enchilada Verde, a cold beer (Piva), and chips just sounded soooo good. It was good. The only thing that was really out of the ordinary, was the filling of the Enchilada “Verde”…. Spinach. No rice, no beans, and no meat, but Spinach. I also missed the refried beans as well. All this said, I must admit, it was all very good. Tonight we are going to pass on “dinner” and just veg on snacks while we are each on our laptops. Louise is passing her time tonight in a heated game of “solitaire” and I am doing my usual journal. Tomorrow…..moving on (hopefully to find some warmer weather, or if only dryer
