Ljubljana Morning

Farmers Market (Ljubljana) - Slovenia  2019

We headed over to the Ljubljana Farmers Market early Monday morning. Pickings were a little slim for what we wanted (lunch stuff for our drive to Lake Bohinj). Nice reflections in the river, though.

Red Coat, Building (Ljubljana) - Slovenia  2019

Photoshop disclosure: The couple in the bottom photo were walking out of the picture, to the right. Didn't like the look, so I flipped them around in Photoshop. Just for fun.

[Wow. I guess we were lucky in that we traveled to Europe last year. Very dicey situation at the present.]

Ljubljana Rain

Wet Cobblestones (Ljubljana) - Slovenia  2019

Light rain glistening on the cobblestones. The experience was slightly similar to our Chicago Rain one, in that we hadn't brought our parkas with us. Oh well. Rain wasn't that heavy.

Ljubljana Plazas

Plaza (Ljubljana) - Slovenia  2019

Yes. I should have kept track of the names of the various plazas. But I didn't. In many ways we were just a little culturally deficient during our trip.

Chestnuts / Outdoor Dining

Outdoor Dining (Ljubljana) - Slovenia  2019

That evening we walked along the river, crossing and recrossing via numerous bridges.

Ljubljana

Clothesline (Ljubljana) - Slovenia  2019

Stairs (Ljubljana) - Slovenia  2019

As I wrote earlier, Slovenia was one destination that Margaret had highly recommended. So: two nights in the capital of Ljubljana (pronounced Loob Lee Ahna) and then a stay near Lake Bohinj.

Our hotel room in Ljubljana was quite nice and spacious, with a photogenic view of a clothesline out one window. But, the stairs! Hali and I felt at times like Frodo and Sam heading up the stairs of Cirith Ungol.

Monday Duck Blogging

Duck (Ljubljana) - Slovenia  2019

"The Ljubljanica, known in the Middle Ages as the Sava, is a river in the southern part of the Ljubljana Basin in Slovenia. The capital of Slovenia, Ljubljana, lies on the river."

Boats on the river in the photo below.

Alkohol! / Ne Toci, Peter

Alkohol! (Ljubljana) - Slovenia  2019

Ne Toci, Peter (Ljubljana) - Slovenia  2019

Top photo says, as translated by our food tour guide: "No great conversation ever happened over a glass of water."

Not sure about "Ne Toci, Peter," as seen on a beer coaster. Yes, it's a film. But it's also some sort of slogan . . . and I can't figure out the context or meaning.
