It's Official: I LOVE Slovenia

Wow.  Just Wow.  All I'll say is go to Slovenia - rob a bank if you must to pay for it but go to Slovenia.  Make it to Bled and then Ljubljana at least.

This and a fresh roll was our lunch - the Strawberries were the sweetest I've had in years.  This was 2 euros (about $2.60).

It was from the huge market that runs in town everyday.

This was a local sparkling wine - a bit like spumonti but dryer.

With the Aperitif came rolls and buffalo mozzarella in a tomato gaspatcho

Washed down with a local white Sauvingonasse (a white that was a cross between sangiovasse and sauvignon blanc) with fresh pea soup.

As a main course local pasta with truffles and Slovenian pancetta (bad picture)

Or a tagliatelli with lobster. 

All at the restaurant Valvas'or.  This was a Trip Advisor #2 restaurant in Ljubljana and it was amazing.  The staff were attentive and fun.  Just a great three hour meal.  Tomorrow we'll get more pictures of the city.  Good night all.

  1. Wonderful pictures, and, as always, beautiful food! You both look great and sound like you're having fun. We are fine, your dog is once again our dog, and we love her! No news on the other front till bloodwork is back later in the week, but will keep you posted. Stay safe, have fun, document weird foods with photos! Love you both!
