Number 28

Our trip is finally coming to a close... sad but excitng times, for now we get to come home and see everyone again! We fly home in a week, on Septemebr 11th and hopefully we can see anyone who takes the time to read this soon after that.

For our last country, the 28th in the past year and a half, we visited Slovenia. Our good friend Matt hails from this beautiful and under-rated land. Off of most travel itineraries, the small country offers so much! We have enjoyed the vibrant life of Ljubljana (the main city) and the more relaxed life at Lake Bled. The lake is just gorgeous, complete with a mountainous backdrop, crystal clear water and a picturesque church situated on a tiny island in the middle. Rope swings and overhanging trees to jump from were everywhere!


We believe this will be the final post of our world adventures! We´ll see you all very soon!

A River Runs Through It...or two or three...

We were told by many people that Venice is a city in Europe not to be missed. It is unlike any place you will ever see. The crumbling brick and peeling paint is something most locals find to be a drawback about the city, but as a visitor these things give it so much character. The maze of canals running through the city are so unique and create such beautiful photographs! (Jill, we couldn't help but think what an amazing place this would be for you to visit. You and your camera would LOVE this city!)
We ate pizza, pizza, and more pizza. You can buy what they call "draught wine" at the restaurants for a few Euros per litre!
This is a city in which to almost completely ditch the map, head out into the labyrinth of streets and just get lost. And get lost we did. Many times. Per hour.
