It seems incredible how many Slovaks or descendants of Slovaks we met in Buenos Aires last Sunday (the 10th of December 2006). They came together to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Slovak Cultural Association in Argentina. It was in 1926 that the founders decided to join forces and also to buy the building which now is the official house of the Association. Even far away from Slovakia, people still connect with their roots.

The festivities were complete: a traditional lunch with slovak bread, desserts, music and of course "Svaty Mikulas" (Saint Nicolas or Sint Niklaas) came to give presents to the children (including us ;-).
