Piran

This past weekend I was able to see a lot of Slovenia. On Saturday, Zvonko, Nada, Neza, and I went to the second oldest city in Slovenia, Piran. Piran is located on the coast of Slovenia, on the Adriatic Sea. It was a little over an hour drive, and it was pretty windy, but warmer and sunnier than Ljubljana. This is a picture of Tartini Square, which is named after the composer and violinist, Giuseppe Tartini, who was born here.

We climbed up the town wall which was built to protect the city of Piran.

Tall man, tiny doorway.

A view of the city of Piran from the top of the wall.

Zvonko and his daughter, Neza.

Having Zvonko around is like having your own personal tour guide.

He knows everything about Slovenia.

Nada, Zvonko, and Neza.

The town wall is in the distance, behind me.

As Zvonko said, here you have the "Most efficient clothes dryer."

All the houses are built very close together to be protected from the strong winds, as well as offering shade for each other in the summer.

This is Tartini Square in the background behind me.

Of course we had to stop at a Slascincarna, or a shop that sells sweets.

Another thing Slovenians love, their cappuccino.

One evening, I had one and didn't sleep the entire night.

And again, they love eating outside. Although, it wasn't too bad with the warm sun.

Nada and Neza....

beautiful day...
