Bratislava for the day!

When a round-trip train ticket is only 16 euro ($17.60 US), it kinda feels like you HAVE to visit a neighboring country, right? So off to Bratislava, Slovakia we went! The bit we saw, it reminded us a lot of Budapest with the communist history and culture. Definitely worth the hour train ride. See pictures of our adventure below!

And…my obsession with ice cream (or gelato). I really did find a good guy, didn't I. (Although…I'm not so sure Jim has a very hard time “putting up with” that obsession!) The salted caramel ice cream was probably the best I've tried. 🤤
