Here are a few more pictures from my new life in Hybe:
The first three are from the sanctuary at the church where I attend and volunteer. Isn't it gorgeous? And look at that pulpit!
Next is for everyone who's been asking what the food is like: it's filling! This plate is a traditional Slovak meal called Halusky (potato dumplings in a "cheese-like" sauce that is special to Slovakia). Halusky is made and prepared on Saturday afternoons. Every family's recipe is somewhat different (maybe like Charleston's variety of shrimp 'n grits?), but my first taste on Saturday was delicious! Mrs. Muchalova makes her Halusky with homemade dumplings and tops it all off with bacon. Oh, my, it was tasty. Good thing we were working in the garden all morning and afternoon!
Finally, a few more pictures from the town of Hybe and The High Tatras...along with my host mother Marta and her mother Marghita. They are truly the most delightful people and a blessing for me as I get acquainted with life in Slovakia!

Wonderfuf pics; the church is really beautiful. I just got off line texting to Sarah's "sister". Susan. What a delight. Susan said Sarah was outside with Sarah's other "sister". I am very happy to find out that Sarah has family in Slovakia. Great to see these pics and to hear more about life in Hybe. Love you, DAD
Sarah, These pictures are amazing! Your host family looks so sweet! Of course I love any and all commentary of food too :) Love you!!!! Rut
Please tell me you're getting recipes for the food. I can see a carb-fest dinner in the future, upon your return. The best way to learn about a place is through it's food... right?? (I'm sure Julia child said something like this once.)
In the meantime, I'll eat some grits for you. Love, L
