Fall is a very nice time of year in Slovakia, not unlike my own homeland, Minnesota. The air is fresh and cool. There are lots of trees which means lots of color as the leaves change. Everyone loves to be outside, especially when the sun is shining like today. This is a very popular park in the city. Like many things here, it has plenty of history. There are stories of battles between the locals and Napoleon in this very spot. There above the tree line you can see one of the most famous landmarks in Bratislava. The locals call it UFO. The communists built it at the end of the Novy Most (New Bridge) but no one seems to know what the design symbolises. Currently there is a restaurant at the top and you can also take an elevator ride up there just to take in the view.
