New Year in Oravska Lesna

Oravska Lensna is the coldest village and it was covered in white when we came in. The mother was so energetic and looked after everyone with food. We had some cabbage goulash and I started my drinking of the day with one and a quarter (which was more like a half) of Slivo.

The Silvester was fantastic! The gang all dressed up quite formally for the dinner at the hotel. I put up my best effort to be acceptable good looking, considering that I am travelling and my make-up skill is worse than my ironing skill (I don't know how to iron, but at least I have an iron at home :x). I didn't eat much but had quite a lot to drink. I guess my drinking training in the last 10 days has paid off. I had about 6 glasses of alcohol during the evening (I am not looking forwards to seeing any of the embarrassing picture!! :x). I also danced a lot to try to lose all the weight I put on! Then there was the count down, the firework and more dancing and food. I might not have the White Christmas I wanted, but I definitely had a white New Year. It was snowing when we were watching the firework. I was so exhausted that I fell into sleep on the chair that some girl had to take me home "early"- 3 am. The next morning, I was definitely not able to go to church, but still I got up at 9 am. To start the new year morning, there was again 1 and a quarter (this time it was more like three-quarter) of Slivo. :x

Summary
  • Happy White Christmas New Year
  • Food: Cabbage Goulash, 1 and a quarter (or more like a half) Slivo, New Year dinner, 6 glasses of alcohol (Cinzano (sweet spirit) x 2, white wine x 2 and champagne x 3), 1 and a quarter (or more like three quarter).

Our little snow-angel!
She chases the winter wind.

{perhaps cold outside makes for warm insides? Or is that the liquor?) :D

Glad you are having fun love, we are thinking of you.

My warm heart is thinking of you too. My drinking record was broken when I visited my brother. Don't worry, it's back on track now.

I met a guy here and we were talking about Magic, W.O.W and role play. He must think I am really cool! :p

take care
