There were lots of tourists in Piran for the day. Time to leave.
The bus ride to Ljubljana was through forests and valleys with small farms. Found out the average farm in Slovenia is only 20 acres. Most of the farmers have a second job. More than half of Slovenia is covered with trees, and most of those are owned by farmers. The farms with cattle only have about a half dozen--mostly milk cows. That's all I know about Slovene farms. But they sure are pretty--so very green.
We've spent most of the month in small towns. It was a change to get back to Ljubljana and see how cosmopolitan it is in comparison. Our room is in the heart of old town with a view of the river. Nice!
We had supper just around the corner at a sidewalk cafe. G had goulash--his favorite meal here. It was served in a copper pot hanging from an iron stand. I had a noodle dish with pumpkin seeds in it. I could have done without the pumpkin seeds. One other day the waitress proudly pointed out the pumpkin seeds in the bread. I think they're the latest craze here.
