Hi:
Well,Ljubljana is a lovely little city of 350,000. It's gorgeous, actually, with a river running through it, old trees on either side, dozens of sidewalk cafes and beautiful buildings. We rode up the new funicular to the Ljubljana Castle, which was unimpressive, but that was OK, as we've seen dozens of such buildings in the past few months. The town more than makes up for it. We strolled along the streets and checked out the old buildings and lovely fruit and veggie stalls. Cherries and blueberries are in season here, about a month or so ahead of Canada. Tonight a cultural festival sponsored a free performance of the ballet Swan Lake. Delightful. the weather is sunny, warm, perfect. We're staying another day before setting off to Trieste.
