Going to Vienna we realized we were just less than an hours drive to the country of Slovakia. Why not spend a couple of days there and add another county to the list. We stayed in the capital of Bratislava. This county has seen a lot of changes in who has the control over them. Hungary, Germany, and the Communist. Of course the last control ended in 1989 when that party fell, and they joined the EU in 2004. 3 major car manufacturers are there, and they produce more cars per capita than anyone in the world. We found a place right outside of old town, where we could walk every day we were there. It was a cute, little village with an Austrian influence. I spent some time talking to the locals who love sharing about there country. And then of course they ask about America. Always asking where they should visit if they ever come to our country. It boils down to what they want to see.

Now it’s back to Vienna for a couple of days. We were here in 2014 for the Christmas Marts, so now it will be nice to see the other sites of the city.
