The Neighbors

Hosting guests gave us a good excuse to explore our neighborhood in Europe a little.  Just down road (actually through a tunnel under a mountain) is Slovenia.  The capital Ljubljana is about an hour drive and has enough sights to spend at least an afternoon.  It’s interesting that as soon as you cross the border there is a lot more English being spoken.  People in the shops and cafes realize that Austrian and Italian visitors don’t speak more than a few words of Slovenian, so everyone switches to English.  For us, it’s a nice little break from practicing German.

We took a detour on the way and stopped off at one of the more famous places in Slovenia.   Lake Bled is surrounded by mountains and has a little island in the middle with a quaint church on it.  It all adds up to a perfectly picturesque spot on a sunny day.   Here’s the proof:

    Hi Ellyse,

    Ljubljana looks very picturesque. Looks like you’re making the most of the summer! Coming back to the bay area any time soon?
