Spring Island member Barbara Thomas has been blogging her six-month assignment with Habitat for Humanity in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia on the Danube River, between Vienna and Budapest. In her online journal titled A Civil Conversation, Ms. Thomas posts wonderful photos of the area as she takes in the sights and culture in the frigid country. We will be following her blog in our upcoming Spring Island Journals. If you would like to receive our journal, please click here.
