My wife’s mother’s parents (both sides) emigrated from the area west of the “Small Carpathian” mountains—about an hour north of Bratislava—during the early 1900s, so we spent several days there. EVERYTHING revolves around the Church, so no surprise to learn that Pope John Paul II visited the area.

It looks like it's an easy train over to Vienna as well from Bratislava? Must have been an interesting visit.
