a day in the woods
the weather was gorgeous today, cold yet with clear blue skies, so we picked a few caches in the woods surrounding ljubljana for a chance to get some vitamin d, breathe fresh air and take a walk in the leaves.
this is such a beautiful country, my dad says it looks like a bob ross painting :D

glad we got those winter tires last week! now i need to find some clothes that are a bit more appropriate for this weather…

christmas lights
despite the cold outside, we ventured out for food and pictures of the christmas lights :)
it feels so nice to just stroll around the streets and check out all of the christmas market “little houses” :) they smell like waffles and mulled wine, yum! :)

the mountains in the distance
friends have been asking for piiiiiiictures, but i’ve been laaaaazy to take them. truth is, we really like it here. we’ve visited lakes, castles and thermal spas, drank gluhwein, done some geocaching, and even went to austria! slovenia feels easy and relaxed, and that’s how we’ve been enjoying it. i plan to report on ‘our life on slovenia’ in more detail… but i’m postponing that to 2010 since we’re leaving for portugal next week :)
i took some photos of the karavanke mountains though, because they were the first thing that made us go “wow!” when we got here. on nice days, you can see them a bit from everywhere in the city, and if you climb all the way up to ljubljana’s castle, you can have a really good view at their snowy peeks in the distance.
last friday we had a close encounter with them, while crossing the country on our way to austria (ikea!). they’re magnificent, like a children’s drawing of the perfect mountains!
what was not so magnificent was the 7.8km tunnel we had to drive through to cross them…
