Where Is Erich Now

I am...

In Slovakia near the convergence of two rivers, the Vah and the Danube.

Where many troops have been: the place has been home to the Austro-Hungarians, Russians, and Slovaks, and withstood the siege of Turks. It was a very strategic point along the Danube.

And I'm in the biggest and most advanced military fortess of its time.

We had a great tour with Sylvia, our English-speaking guide. The history of this fortess is very interesting. And now I have a new email pen pal, George, who lives in Komarno.

This is Erich, reporting live from Slovakia.
