Piran -Friday

We had breakfast in our crooked-y old apartment--cereal from the Mercator store and fruit from the outdoor market just the other side of the square.  After breakfast we headed out for a walk.  We met Ana on the stairs so I murdered some Deutsch again.

Piran is very small--probably 20 minute walk from one end to the other.  Our apartment is just one street off the main square so everything is nearby.  We walked to the old town walls and climbed up the Bell Tower by St George's Parish Church for a good view of the town.  The Bell Tower is a replica of St Mark's Campanile in Venice.  Piran is very much an Italian style town.  Seems like I hear more Itslian spoken here than Slovene.  Also went to the Maritime Museum where G was in his glory.  Figure in time for lunch and an afternoon ice cream break, and the day was almost over.

After a short rest we went to the restaurant Pri Mari for supper.  It's very popular and I can see why.  Excellent meal!  Our sea bass for two was perfect.
