Week 3

6/11 Monday
All is well, bridge still standing.
-was thrown off the last train for Sturovo, bike was not allowed, the conductor grinned, spend the night in Bratislava.



7/11 Tuesday
All is well, bridge still standing.
-4:30: Hungarians did not play their nationalistic tune across the river today!



8/11 Wednesday
All is well, bridge still standing.
-tune back 'on air', bridge of attachment restored.



9/11 Thursday
All is well, bridge still standing.
-feast today, found avocado's, yummm.



10/11 Friday
All is well, bridge still standing.
-back is so sore, made a date with the 'bone smith' as they are called here.
-met new people at a concert, a much healthier 'bridge' to cross than the pub.



11/11 Saturday
All is well, bridge still standing.
-will use art as a 'bridge' bypassing language. Made first (non-verbal) contact with local orphans across the road through my camera, would like to build a bridge with them, for them, getting a sense the are outsiders just like me, living on the edge of town, the edge of the Danube, the edge of Slovakia, the flood plane of the Danube, virtually no-mans land.




12/11 Sunday
All is well, bridge still standing.
-would like to cross the bridge freely to the bright lights on the other side, just like the locals, without having to sacrifice a passport page for four stamps each time. Get a bit of an idea what it must have been like behind the iron curtain, seeing the greener grass, but not being able to step on it.
