Hubby and I took an almost 2 hour hike today. Short by many standards. I'll confess that I'm clearly in better shape than him, and yet I have oodles of room for improvement. I'll say that my left heel has been hurting for some weeks. Hubby said his is, too. Same cause? I'm not sure.

The food in Slovakia has been a disappointment, though they present it well at the hotel restaurant. No flavor. Bland. Really. Sort of a "Wish I had a bottle of Maggi, Worcestershire, or hot sauce", at the very least. Or even a lemon. Czech food tends to be better, and Czech cuisine isn't known as a world known cuisine, either. And neither country often serves a vegetable as part of them, unless a fleck of carrot counts. I have slightly higher hopes, in that regard, for when we go to Poland. Not saying theirs is all spectacular, but I have had plenty of better meals there. I am a harsh food critic.
