This will likely be my last post, although our story of
A Forest in Slovenia is not yet over. I've spent the last few days in Ljubljana trying to wrap up this visit taking photographs and making memories of this beautiful land and its wonderful people. Virtually everyone I've met has been interesting, from Gorazd, an out-of-work economist from the old communist system, to the boat captain on the Ljubljanica river.
I've been back to Postojna once this week to try to complete the sale of the forest to our neighbor and caretaker, Albreht Rajko. But unfortunately the Slovene system has thrown us yet another curve ball and I will have to do more paperwork back home before I can complete the transaction by mail later this summer.
This week the weather has gone from super-hot and humid to cooler (but still uncomfortably warm) with thunder, lightning and heavy rain! Before the weather turned, I had an opportunity to take a short cruise on the Ljubljanica - the river that winds its
Seine-like way through the middle of Ljubljana.
These photos are what I saw along the way. And just so you know,
Ljubljana is almost the same spelling as the Slovene word for "beloved" which is
ljubljena. Now you know!
