We were surprised to learn that our first time in Slovenia was 18 years ago. It\u2019s changed a bit but not too much. It\u2019s still a cozy, elegant smallish city with a castle on the hillside.<\/p>\n

We took the funicular up to the castle yesterday for a nice view of the city below with some mountains in the distance.<\/p>\n

A famous architect, Jo\u017ee Ple\u010dnik designed many of Ljubljana\u2019s landmarks including bridges, the covered market, the University Library.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s beginning to look like fall – walks along the Ljubljana River are always pleasant.<\/p>\n

Not too far from the city center we walked by some lovely fall gardens.<\/p>\n

Some prices here seems more expensive than in Italy and the people are more reserved – it\u2019s an interesting contrast of cultures.<\/p>\n

Tuesday we\u2019ll fly from Ljubljana to Amsterdam and then on to Atlanta. We leave early and the hotel staff prepared a breakfast of croissants, apricot jam and fruit for us to take with us. We\u2019ve had a great adventure and now we\u2019re packed and ready to go. We\u2019re excited to be heading home and look forward to catching up with family and friends. Hope to see you soon.<\/p>\n

Ciao!<\/p>\n
