At a bakery in Bratislawa

Kate has agreed to have her picture taken – a rare occurrence.  Perhaps she is so agreeable because she is in the process of drinking “the best hot chocolate that I have ever had.”  Those students who have been with me to Iceland – and I know at least a couple of them are reading this – know my love of a European bakery.  The coffee and treats are of such high quality.  Here, Kate has her hot chocolate, I a (very good) coffee, and there is a coconutty cake and streusel-covered cheese cake.
