Horuce Leto 68 Slovakia Tour 2009

So how was Europe? Some of you probably know that I took off for 3 weeks to Slovakia and Czech republic. The main reason of my visit was playing theater in Slovakia for 10 days. Our tour started in Trnava, then we moved to Nitra, Martin and ended up in Bratislava.


Flight to Europe was quite good. The only problem I had was that I couldn't move my seat back since I was sitting at the exit seat. So the whole time I was trying to somehow get comfortible and sleep a little which was tough job. I had to also deal with a bit of naussea (for those who know I am pregnant...) which was just on the way to dissapear.


First 2 days we were rehearsing with new actor Marian since one of us couldn't go. First show in Trnava blew us away. We had standing ovation and great success. To our surprise this was repeating everywhere we went. People clapping, not wanting us to leave the stage. This was all we wanted.


The whole tour was great except one emergency. Our loving Jurka got very ill. He had a bit problems walking on our second show which noticed a little, but was threw us away was when he collapsed at the breakfast the next day. Immediately he was taken to hospital where they found out that he has tumor in his brain. This news was shocking to us. He was then taken back to Canada, where he remains in hospital. His health is in a very bad condition, getting worse every day. We are praying for him each day... "We love you Jurka....."


After the last show we said good bye and each of us went his/her own way. I left with my parents to my home where I stayed with them the rest of this vacation. It was great to be home. Seeing my parents, grandma, cousins... and everyone else was all I wanted. I had time to relax in the mountains which was great. It was the last time I went with my husband home alone. Next time, we are bringing a little one with us......
