Day 26 (August 3)

More hot dusty country roads with muddy interludes. Village after village without a food store or restaurant -- this area of Slovakia is simply not as hopping as we´re used to. Finally got lucky in the town of Slovinky, with a bar serving beer, potato chips, and ice cream and a small vegetable stand. Not our usual fare for hiking food, but Deb will find a way! As we packed up to leave, the lady from the vegetable stand chased us down and gave us an extra bag of heavy but delicious stuff. These tomatoes, peppers, and apples kept us happy for days.
Camped in an already-scavenged blueberry patch. Someone, human or bear, has beaten us to the punch on this haul. But it still makes a very comfortable bed.

P.S. Happy birthday Julie!
