I first visited Tretas Mountain, this mountain's forms a border between Slovakia and Poland. They are the highest mountains in Slovakia. It was so big I think I can not crossed them.

  6. Day 2 We made it to my cousin's house and we saw eggs with paint next it, ready to be used. We got ready to start breakfast, and I thought it was different to have breadwith slices of meat and soup. For lunch we ate soup, meat and potatoes and for dinner we ate roast duck with kapusta stew cabbage and side dish of lokse potatos crepes. After we eat lunch we began to paint the traditional pin art eggs. It took a long time to do this but by 8:00 pm my cousin showed us on t.v the traditional folk dancing, he tried teaching us but it was hard for me. We don't speak the same language, they speak Slovak, it was hard to understand my other relatives.

  7. Day 3 My family made a stop to the bank where we exchanged some U.S currency to Euro's. The bank had pictures of the President with his name on it "Ivan Gasparovic". Afterwards we went for a tour, the weather was pretty warm, I heard we were lucky we didn't come during the snowy cold winter time. Some of the natural resources of Slovakia are: copper, zinc, and timber. But they mainly export machinery and electrical equipment. the U.S drives some of the most expensive car's that Slovakia manufactures such as Porsch and AudiQ7, they also make the LCD screen T.V

  8. Day 4 On my last day, my cousin drove me to the airport, he gave me a small present. His present was a movie that he suggested I watch while flying back home. He saw how interested I was aboutSlovakia's history. After watching the movie I learned that Slovakia was ruled underNazi Germany. Then it was called Slovakia Republic. Hitler had no interest in Slovakia and left it to the claims of Hungary and of Poland on July 17th, 1992 it gained its independence.
