Hiking Club trips




At the beginning of the year, Adam and I got invited to join the school's hiking club, for a walk to the top of a mountain in the Western Tatras. We hiked to the top of Baranec, which was long, but beautiful!!!! This is a picture of all of us at the top. A good majority of the students in this picture are mine. Anyways, on the way up, I had an interesting chat with Nadja, who doesn't speak much English. She taught me, čučoriedki (blueberries) and brusnica (cranberries) because they grow naturally up in the mountains, and we were eating them to our hearts content. Our group also encountered a creepy group of Bratislava tourists. One of them, Tibor, "fell in love with me", and the rest of them stalked us girls and kept taking our pictures while we were hiking. Tibor was actually gay, but he wouldn't admit it to himself. It makes for some interesting stories, and Domenika, Ala, Vlad'a and I have gotten a few good laughs out of the incident.
