Welcome back!
I would like to begin this blog post with some recent video footage of the other American teachers and myself hanging out in the surrounding area...
That's right, I'm pretty much Robin Hood!
Well, minus the whole, "Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor" thing... But I plan to start immediately!
How did I decide I was in fact Robin Hood, you ask?
It all started the first week I was in Tisovec when I watched the latest Robin Hood (the one with Russel Crowe) in theaters (about 3 months after the release in America).
A few days after that the other Americans and I went on a small hike to eat some traditional Slovak food. As we were walking through the country-side I thought to myself, "The towns of 12th century England sure do look a lot like present day Slovakia."
I became increasingly sure as we approached the haunted forests (of Sherwood).
I looked down as we were trudging through the forests and realized... I have Robin Hood boots on!
Finally we arrived at a location called Zbojska (or Nottingham)
My Merry Men and I had a fine meal at the Nottingham castle prepared by a lovely maid
Where we celebrated my birthday! (Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!)
And then we once again set off...
There were so many different ways to go, that I got a little confused....
But I decided that I would travel throughout all the forests, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor!
Well, after we make a hearty supply of mead!
So, from all of the Robin Hoods:
Dovidenia!
Is that sun tea or meed? I will teach you how to shoot the long bow when you get back home . O I mean back to the hood :} Nice hand bag Robin :P
