Padina's Ethno-House

Many villages in this area have an Ethno-House. The Ethno-House is a house that is set up to show how people used to live back in the 1800's and early 1900's. My hosts and I finally got to see Padina's ethno-house just last week. The house was very neat to see and was a great example of what the inside of houses used to look like in Slovak villages like this.

You will notice that the walls are very colorful. Walls with painted designs were very common. You can still see some walls like that today, but as time has changed, the walls are becoming much plainer.

The lady who runs the house was very friendly. She even let me dress up in a traditional, formal Slovak outfit. Enjoy the pictures!
