We're taking a day off in Esztergom, Hungary. And here's some pictures! We apologize in advance for those without high speed. Maybe go make a snack or something.

Heading for the Tube with a trolley. Brilliant!

Building bikes while balding in Bratislava

Nice quiet Bratislava street, with Castle Hrad in the background


On friday night Bratislava was invaded by young English (not British) men. All of them crowded around this restaurant. That's what they get for having the World Cup on outside.

All packed up and ready to go.

On our way out. Photo courtesy of our very own personal Slovakian funny little old man.

On the wonderfully flat paved path during day one.

Erin and a field of sunflowers. There were several of these fields, and if we had come by a week or two later they would have blown our minds. They were still nice, though.

A giant, helmeted Slovakian warrior...next to a big wooden statue.

There's that bruise I promised. It's even better now. Stay tuned for a visual update.

Erin on the "MTB" gravel road. Still on the Slovakian side.

Adam on the quiet "main" road. Notice who's wearing the yellow jersey on the second day of le Tour!

The basilica in Esztergom, as seen from Sturovo, Slovakia. Today we explored inside, checking out the bell tower, the crypt, the main hall, and even the view from the top, outside the base of the dome. Lots of steps! We gave our bums a rest today, but not our legs!

Esztergom, with dome.

The beginning of the Danube "knee." Actually, it's the Duna, now that we're in Hungary.

That is a nice bruise. If I could, I'd show you mine which is about 4"x2" and green, thanks to a leaping, twisting, (futile), attempt for a foul fly-ball at Mariner's BP which resulted in the jamming of my leg into a seat and the ball tipping off my glove.
And to top it all off, the M's are now 2 games back and are back at .500. They did go 14-4 in interleague play, though.
Looks like you're having fun. Some good views of European rooftops from the top of that dome! What is it about European rooftops that is so cool?
So do people speak much English? Do you have phrasebooks? How's the food? Met anyone interesting?
Keep having fun!

I'm a trifle jealous of all your fun. I moved into my new place in the Mt. Baker Apts. today. You'll have to stop by when you're back. Or better yet, send a postcard! 318 W. Champion Apt. 305. Have fun!
