As most of you know, I was born in Bratislava, Slovakia. These pictures were taken there a few years back. Bratislava is split up into two main sections. One part is old Bratislava, and the rest of the metropolitan area is a modern city. Stara Bratislava, or old Bratislava, is beautiful and full of amazing places to see. The first picture is of Michael's tower in that section of the city. If you ever have the chance to visit this amazing place, the tower actually houses a medieval torture museum, displaying all of the old instruments of punishment of those dark times. Bratislava is located on the Danube, and the main castle, Bratislavsky Hrad sits atop a bank off of the river. The second picture was taken next to the cathedral that sits just below the castle. This was a group of seminary students making their way through the street, a pretty cool site to see amongst all these old buildings. I wish I could go back and visit my home country more often. I hope to go again sometime soon.
