We visited Bratislava and Vienna, the two world capitals closest together (40 miles). We could definitely see the more Eastern European (and Soviet) influences in Bratislava. It was a fun and interesting place to visit.
Above, we're in front of the Grassalkovich Palace where the president of Slovakia lives. We arrived just as a changing of the guard ceremony was taking place, which was fun.
We loved the Blue Church (Church of St. Elisabeth). It's unique-looking, like something from a cartoon. Jacob said he thought it looked edible, and it totally does look like it's covered in fondant. As usual, the photos don't do justice to the experience of walking around the corner and seeing this very blue church (the dreary day doesn't help the photos either).
We hiked up to the Bratislava Castle and just enjoyed meandering through the old city.
(Some of the trams, like the one above, are very Soviet-looking to me.)
I just had to include this photo of Gavin and Michaela on the train between Vienna and Bratislava. They were so cute together.

You guys are so awesome that you travel so frequently. It makes me very motivated to plan a trip. I love that last pic of Gavin. Oh, p.s. I think I'm cancelling the Halloween party. Most of the people I wanted to invite are going to be out of town. We'll get together another time.
