Last weekend, I went with Zvonko and his family to Lipica, which is the original home of the Lipizzaner white horses. Graceful performances are held for large audiences. Unfortunately, we weren't able to see them perform. These horses are born with brown coats, which eventually turn white around the age of five or six. Lipica is on the south western side of Slovenia, right on the border of Italy.

After our visit to Lipica, we went to Nada's parent's house, who live close to Lipica. It is a beautiful city, and many people have vineyards on their own property. Nada's father made a delicious bean soup, and her mother made tiramisu and blueberry muffins with amazing frosting. Nada's brother and his family live below his parents, which is extremely common for families in Slovenia. The first picture below is of Nada's parent's house, and the yellow house with the vineyard in front belongs to Nada's aunt and her husband. As you can see, they have a vineyard in their front yard. We enjoyed a belo vino (white wine) with dinner, which was very good.
