It’s been nearly a week since we hosted the “Partnership for Peace” exchange group from Slovakia.
It was fun to see that speaking different languages doesn’t really get in the way of fun.
Or coaster riding.
Oh, how I wish I could remember his name.
He’s the Colonel.
It was obvious he was in charge as the group made their way across our parking lot.
Slovakians like to give gifts. Something else we have in common.
The Colonel presented Will with a Slovakian flag and a thank-you plaque.
(Will gets all the cool gifts. Have you noticed?)
We walked the group down to Thanksgiving for their first ride.
A quick announcement in the station, cheers all around as we Americans welcomed them, and they were off.
And they were back.
What’s this?
Shock and awe?
I did notice he didn’t join the group that later rode The Raven.
Their wonderful translator told us that Indiana and Slovakia are close to the same size, geographically and by population.
But Slovakia doesn’t have any roller coasters.
Not even a single theme park.
They know who Santa is, though.
