i went to slovenia 4 times last week. the first and second times were harry potter-related, the third time was entirely mexican-food-related and the fourth time was to visit lake bled!
here are some pictures from our harry potter adventures:
the purchasing of tickets on tuesday - so much excitement!
"should i get a small or medium popcorn?!" "well, it's 153 minutes long so..." "you're right, i should get a large."
the group -- my first harry-potter-in-theatres experience
friday night after school we filled the car and headed to ljubljana, the capital city of slovenia to have a delicious dinner of mexican food.
they made guacamole at our table!
so delicious.
then we spent a little while walking around the city which is so cool. there are SO MANY more young people there than in trieste and it was actually lively on a friday night (strange, huh?!)
i never wanted to leave.
oh! and then i was incredible and completed this no-big-deal parallel parking job.
saturday! as we were leaving trieste, the sun was shining, the blue sky went on forever, there wasn't a cloud in sight. we were so excited for the beautiful weather that was going to accompany us on our daytrip to lake bled!
however, apparently the blue sky ended at the border and we had a very overcast day. oh well, guess we have to go back!
walking up to the castle perched on a cliff above the lake
view from the castle
an attacking swan (K, you would have hated this, i mean it was chasing us)
boat ride across the lake to the island!
view up at the castle
apparently it's the only island in slovenia. and in the winter, the lake freezes over and you can ice skate across to the island!
slovenia's version of mulled wine! they had red AND white and both were to-die-for delicious. (and super cheap, as you can see!)
so i'm counting down the days until i can go back to ljubljana (mmmmm mexican food and mulled wine) and waiting for it to snow so i can go back to bled and see the sneaky mountains that were only barely poking out of the clouds.
xx!
