[Starší Anderson] Abe Froman, the sausage King of Chicago

You might be wondering why the title of this post. It is in reference to the movie Ferris Beullers day off. More about this later.
We began the day shopping for shoes for Brent. Then we left Olomouc for a short visit with the wife of the branch president in Olomouc. What a delightful lady. Most gracious and welcoming to us and fluent in English. Then to Trebic to have lunch and help teach a missionary lesson. A brief excursion into Austria, yes we tried to sing Figaro as we crossed the border. (Family joke here). Then on to Bratislava, Slovakia for a visit to a friend tomorrow.
Now for the explanation of the subject. When we reserved our room he in Slovakia, we could only find one hotel that had room enough for 3 adults, the Hotel Arcadia. If we had looked really hard we probably could have found something but we were anxious to get everything scheduled. As we pulled up, we could see that it was something beyond what we were expecting, uniformed bellman, valet parking, etc. Apparently, this is the only 5 star hotel in Slovakia. 13th century building in the heart of the city. Amazing!!! They really aim to please.
Now off to dinner. This is where Abe Froman comes into play. We stopped at a restaurant, Le Monde, not expecting what we got. 5 star restaurant as well. It made us feel like Ferris, Cameron and Sloane. Great food, many laughs and priceless memories.

Better go for now. Lots to do tomorrow.
Brian, Kathy and Brent
