This past weekend I went to Bratislava with my Slovakian friend Miska.  We stayed with her cousin in the dorms of Bratislava University.  It was a very fun trip and a pretty cool city. Here are some pics!

THe tower is part of the oldest building in the city (according to my sources?)

one of the oldest parts of the city

A view across the river from the castle.  THis area across the river was compared to the Bronx by Miska’s cousin Lucia.

An interesting juxtaposition that symbolizes the city of Bratislava in a way:  The dilapidated building with the beautiful well kept flowers growing on the window sills. 

The main statue in front of the castle.

A view of Bratislava’s Castle ( it doesn’t hold a candle to Prague’s if you ask me)
