I'm almost tempted to keep these albums a secret in fear that we'll start a mass of American tourists headed to Slovenia! We went for a quick trip this past weekend & can't say enough to describe how much we enjoyed it. Ljubljana was our first stop, where we stayed with my Aunt Jane's brother, Robert, his wife Janja, & their 6 year old son Luka. Our positive experience was certainly shaped by their welcoming family! They showed us all around Ljubljana Saturday morning (after feeding us breakfast---5 stars for accomodations, hospitality & the menu!!). Such a great little city! Lots of cafes, where the locals spend hours on Saturday mornings out on the patios along the river. I think they've got the Italians beat on how to linger over coffee. They also beat out Bologna for international cuisine--we ate Thai for lunch, Mexican for appetizers & Croatian for dinner. That will probably be our last Pad Thai, guacamole, and margaritas (not all together!) for awhile :(
Sunday we made a few stops outside the capital. Bled was gorgeous fairytale town complete with castle on a hill and medieval church on an island in the middle of a lake. Next stop, Vintgar gorge, which Robert recommended for a hike. I really enjoyed the fantastic fall colors as we followed a path along the river to a big waterfall. Hope you all enjoy the pics as much as I enjoyed taking them & being there!
Ciao & Happy Thanksgiving!
Laura & Ian
