Checking in from Vienna
On our way home -- I´ll give more details on the delights of the Magocsi-O´Dea wedding when I have time to write. Here are a few pictures though!

Day 28 (August 5)
Prešov awaits us, the start of a new adventure.
Day 27 (August 4)
Set up our tent for the very last time on the top of a little mountain called Kozinec, within easy distance of Prešov tomorrow.
Day 26 (August 3)
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!
Day 25 (August 2)
The towns themselves left a little to be desired as well -- specifically, food. Running a little low. Still some beautiful sights though. Dusty country roads remind me a little of Texas.
We camped on a ridge not too far from this tiny church.
Day 24 (August 1)
Slovakia has hundreds of trails marked with various colors, but we were a little apprehensive about leaving the main hiking route for the back roads. The trail begins in a boggy pasture, then matures into a huge muddy rut. Then suddenly it´s a pleasant path alongside a bubbling stream. Then suddenly it´s a crazy trail with ladders and bridges over a beautiful little gorge. We´ve entered the region known as "Slovak Paradise!" So it looks like we´re in for some fun after all.
Day 23 (July 31)
Just as quickly as it had come, the storm tumbled off to the south, leaving us fresh, clean, and a little dazed for our climb down to Télgart.
