The town is Rajac. Worship at the Catholic church was standing room only.The priest was young--maybe 40. I saw more families at this church than any church I've visited in Slovakia. There were three baptisms.
After church we returned to her house where her sister and brother and their families arrived. Mom made dinner: pigeon and beef soup, chicken and duck with dumplings and red cabbage gravy. After dinner we went outside past her family garden and chickens, ducks, pigeons and two pigs, and gathered inside the wood patio with desert and drinks. Surrounded by blossoming fruit trees we relaxed and visited and doted over the infant. It was a wonderful Slovak day with a special family. Thanks for the wonderful memory and delicious meal.
