Ljubljana, Slovenia 🇸🇮

We have had a busy couple of days.   We made the trip across the pond with very few difficulties.   Our flight was delayed 2 hours, but we had no worries about making our connection to Ljubljana. 

Our only goal the first day was to stay awake as long as possible to mitigate the effects of the 7 hour time difference.   We achieved that goal, but it was not helped by our overindulgence that occurred when we tried to sample the cuisine of Slovenia in one meal.  We had pudding, stew, sausage,  a concoction of buckwheat and pork cracklins and beer 🍺. 

Today, we did a city tour.   We were the only English speakers,  so we had a private tour.

The history is filled with legends about dragons.

We have not been here long, but have a very favorable impression of the country of Slovenia.  The scenery is beautiful and the people are very charming.  The have very good beer and it's easy to get by in English.  

The city tour was a wonderful way to get to know the culture and history of the country.  For a country of only a little over 2 million people, they have a lot to be proud about.
