Today I wanted
to take it easy- we had three days of 4-5 hours of walking and I was pooped! So
we had a nice and quite morning at the apartment with our host family. They are
such a nice family. They are Catholic believers and Milan, the husband, is in
Priest training. They are from Slovakia, but they are funded, (mostly), by a
Bishop in Slovakia. Their 2-year-old daughter Miriam so cute, she is really
quite and good at entertaining her self. They told us to check out this
Holocaust Memorial Museum (since it was free!). So we did that for part of the
day.
It is a really
big place that they have. There are all kinds of buildings you can go in and
see pictures, videos, art, and other documents from the holocaust. It was
actually the Holocaust memorial holiday that day. There were quite a few groups
touring.
We went back
to the apartment and relaxed some more-I needed it. We did go out for a walk
later and as I was looking in a shop I heard some major yelling. Spencer was
standing outside and he told me after that this (Jewish) man was yelling and
very angry. These (Jewish) kids standing near by started crying (more like
wailing). It was quite disturbing, even the police came to check it out. When I
got out of the store, it had settled down. Good thing nothing major happened-
besides the kids being freaked out!
That night we
ate a later dinner. Martina had prepared some simple, yet delicious food for the
family and for us!
