Little town... Piestany

Piestany is a little town. There's not much to see really. But it is a very cute town with many tales and meanings behind them, which make it even more charming.

Martina took me around, and it was a quiet walk from the house to the town center. The only thing that we could hear was the snow crisping underneath our boots. Sometimes, doing nothing, hearing nothing, and thinking about nothing are necessary moments to give our brain a rest. I think that was exactly what I needed...

We were crossing a bridge when I saw two trees which captured my attention. They had a really special shape. Then Martina told me that those two trees are famous since they have been in a "tree competition" hahaha... I found that funny! They are called "Her and Him"... That's a tree couple! Isn't it cute?! ;)

Piestany is very well know for its hot springs spas with a temperature of 60C and up. They have apparently curative effects for rheumatic, neural, and orthopedic diseases. I love natural thermal baths, but unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to go. However, I got the chance to touch the water... It was really super hot! I wish I could have gone! Oh well, maybe next time!! ;)

We got to the town center and the first thing that put a smile on my face was the ice rink! I haven't seen one for so long! **The one in England doesn't count because it's not an ice rink... It's a pool :P** For some reasons (probably because it was during Christmas time and I missed home) it made me think of my brother and I when we went skating at the park behind our house. It was really cold, but we had so much fun... Aaah when we were kids... No worries, no headaches! Good times, good memories!

We walked around the small 'downtown'. Most of the shops were closed since people were preparing for the Christmas Eve celebration. Thus, we were just window shopping and there was a yellow sweater that caught my eyes. I got closer to the window and this was what I saw ;)

 It says:

Campus League 1979

Canadian Style

Québec City

**By travelling around, I have noticed that I am really proud of being Canadian! Everything that has to do with Canada would make me smile. CANADA WOOT WOOT!!!

It was actually pretty cold that day, so after walking around 'downtown' which took us 10 minutes :D, we went to a cute little coffee shop called Monsalvy to warm us up. Their thick hot chocolates were soooo yummy!!! Mmmm... Drooling right now!

 Coconut and Raspberry :D~~

Thank you Martina for the amazing 'city' tour! Even though I make fun of Piestany, I did like YOUR hometown! :D
