The Best 8 Euro ever spent!

Let me just say that buying that fan was the best 8 Euro was the best investment that I've ever spent!

Last night, we closed the window and ran the fan. It not only keeps us cool, the buzz helps to hide the outside noise, and it acts as a pretty nifty underwear dryer when placed appropriately.

I probably got one of the best night's sleep here in Modra last night, all due to the luxury of my Tesco Fan!

Today was spent mostly in class, and I find myself understanding much more as the 3^rd week begins. We obviously still have a great deal to cover, but I can see that the time investment on my part is finally paying off.

And, there's nothing like immersing one's self into the local culture, like enjoying a Smadny Mnich with our lunch. 

Smadny means thirsty in Slovak.

After class, we headed into town once again, this time finding a better grocery store way off the beaten track, where we purchased some items to enjoy in our room. There is small kitchen with very limited supplies down the hall, but it does have a toaster oven with two burners on top and one pot for the using.

So, along with some Tokaj wine, we enjoyed a yummy meal in our room while listening to the tweeting of swallows that still have not flown the coop.

What a real treat!
