My Slovenian Vacation

The view from Uncle Peter's front door. How sweet is that!
The church and village where dad's mom and brother are buried. The church is 400 years old.
Typical small village in the mountains. Easily 75% of the entire country looks like this!
Cerkno- a tiny village with 7 churches
View from Kalisce, 5052 ft. looking down to Hotemaze. The climb should take 2:30 min up, and 1:45 down. Svone, Vinko and I went up in 1:40, and down in 1:00, not bad for 3 guys over 40!
From Kalisce, looking up to Storzic (7165 ft), we got started to late in the day for the round trip.
Cave formation in Postojnska jama. 20 km. of caves, fully discovered in 1818.
Another formation in Postojnska Jama.
Dad, mom, me, and Boyana at Lake Bled. The castle in the background has a Gutenburg press shop, and a winery in it.
Lake Bled. Notice the island in the lake. That is a church on the island, only accessible by boat.
Corking "castle wine" in the winery at castle Bled.


Family reunion and dad's 80th birthday party. This is approx. 1/3 of the relatives there, and another 1/3 could not make it, for a total of 110. THAT'S a lot of family!
