Mid-way Layover

We are currently in the Tatras Mountains in Slovakia where we quickly discovered what it means to visit during the "off-season". Yes... lodging is cheaper, but tourist attractions are not open either. Yesterday we drove an hour to see the largest castle in Slovakia only to discover it closed for the season on October 31. Same for the many caves in the area. So, we have enjoyed a little down time and even stumbled upon a great pizzeria last night where Brandon claims he consumed the "best pizza he has had in all of Europe"! Quite a distinction, huh?

Lydia was Grumpy (yes, with a capital "G") yesterday. Maybe she's tired of the car time, or switching beds every 2 days, or she's just 21 months. Who knows, but I think it was a blessing that we were forced to take it easy for a day before heading off to Budapest today.

Sorry... dont have the ability to post pictures so we'll have to save that for our return at the end of the week. Please keep Lydia's emotional state and her mommy and daddy's patience level in your prayers!
