{Ljublijana, Slovenia}

We spent a wonderful morning walking around Slovenia's capital city-Ljublijana.






These pictures were taken inside a magnificient church.....






These pictures were taken in/of the castle there.














We ate at a sidewalk cafe that Katarina recommended. Mark ordered the toast (grilled ham & cheese) and loved it so much we had to order him another serving. He wanted to write a rave review of how awesome it was!










Our trip to Slovenia ended the following morning. We drove from there to Stuttgart, Germany, where Mark had a work conference for a couple of days. I will post pictures from there soon.
Enjoy :)
Ciao!

{Swimming-Lake Bled-Slovenia}









Matevz & Mark--the last time they saw each other they were both a year old at Mark's 1st birthday party, while we were in Italy last time. It was great seeing them play/swim together.
Enjoy :)
Ciao!





{Lake Bohinj- Slovenia}

We spent a wonderful day in Lake Bohinj. There was a really yummy ice cream stand that we had to try. I think the kids had ice cream twice a day while we were in Slovenia--they LOVED it! The water was cold--only Mark & Kieran swam at first, then Katarina and Luka swam.



the yummy ice-cream!




the water was SO clear you could see all the fish.......


Katarina swimming with Mark & Kieran.


Mark & Kieran with Luka (Katarina's boyfriend).


There are so many unique & beautiful church steeples/bells in Europe.
We spent a few hours enjoying the sights (and watching the kids swim)--we had to leave quickly, because a t-storm moved in. We drove to a restaurant near Bohinj that had REALLY good pizza. It's a favorite restaurant of Sandi, Mojca, and Katarina's.
I'll post more pictures of the kids swimming in Lake Bled soon.
Enjoy :)
Ciao!
