Today, after our regular classes, Amy and I decided to attend the Slovak singing class.
We sang Slovakian folk songs while be accompanied by guitar, and I was surprised to recognize one from years ago that I remember hearing on a record.
The experience was certainly entertaining, but would probably have been more entertaining had I just not read on the bulletin board that the 3 day excursion that was planned for our group had been cancelled. This certainly does not make for good public relations when it comes to promoting the program here in Modra. They showed us this exciting trip that was planned for us, complete with photos and an actual itinerary. It looked too good to be true, and apparently it was.
Needless to say, that didn't make my day.
But, after our singing, we headed out on a hike to an area that is actually the spot of a fortress that had been built in the 7th century. None of the structure remains, but the view from the top was outstanding.
The climb up was a bit challenging, but the view from the top was well worth the effort.
The weather is cooling down a bit, which is really much welcomed relief.
Until tomorrow........Dovidenia.
