Kobarid to Most na Soci - Thursday

We took today off.  I spent most of the day listening to Hemingway's Farewell to Arms  (I have an audiobook on my Iphone.). Hemingway drove an ambulance for the Italian army in WWI.  The novel describes the gruesome battle between the Italians and the Austrians near Kobarid.  Some consider it the best American novel to emerge out of WWI.

Hemingway is certainly remembered in Kobarid.  The WWI museum has a huge picture of him. (See below)  The Hemingway Apartments are located in downtown Kobarid.  Remember, the Italians were the enemy--the Slovenians fought in the Austrian army.  And yet they honor him.  My impression is that the Slovenians were conquered and oppressed by so many different nations that the only enemy they hate now is war itself.

We've moved on to Most na Soci--mostly because it's more conveniently located to our next two adventures.
