This is the first country where I haven't managed to get to the library right off--so I feel like the equivalent of a tourist who came to the country then immediately caught the flu and hasn't been able to get out of the hotel. Oh well, the patient is feeling better now, and tomorrow hopes to get to the library. In the meantime, I finally pulled up Google Earth which has convinced me that Slovenia is a real place after all. And what a place!!!! Right below Austria and every bit as gorgeous. Every picture I clicked on was an ooooo----aaaaahhh moment. Castles, mountains, lakes, cobblestone streets---it looks simply wonderful. My fantasy is that it's nowhere near as crowded as Austria either.
Hmmmmm--just checked Hotwire--round trip tickets are going for about $1,325. I wonder if I have any rich relatives I don't know about? Perhaps some remote uncle living in a Slovenian castle perhaps?
