I had a wonderful day getting to know the Slovak traditions for Christmas holidays here yesterday with my host family and spent most of my day in Cinobaňa today.
Here is a typical Slovak Christmas menu (or at least what we had for dinner last night):
A Krumkake type bread with garlic and honey
Cabbage soup with sausage
Carp with a creamy potato salad
...and Christmas Stollen for breakfast!
And Christmas wouldn't be complete without a church service (or two... or three) I went to a Lutheran church service yesterday afternoon, a Catholic mass at 10:30pm and Baptist church this morning!
Finally, here's a lovely screen shot of my first Christmas via Skype with my family!
