Slovenia

Slovenia! We were there for 10 days or so. We decided to create a few sub-pages. First there's Gojace, Linda's mother home village. Then Ljubljana, the Capital, Skocian and Postojna caves, Triglav National Park, and bits and pieces of the rest.

So then, Gojace!

A small village, 50 or so families. Linda's mother family house is here.

As you can see on the picture below, this is Wine Country. This picture is looking south. To the west (right on the picture), about 15 kilometers away, lies the border with Italy. Near Trieste. So this is Mediterranean climate. Hot summers, mild winters. Lots of wine.

The house. It starts here on the left and includes the part with the first balcony. Then Anica's house (a neighbor), with a different balcony.

The second neighbor is Lenard. Wine maker. His wine won prises. Even in France. He makes a subtle Sauvignon Blanc. It's right there, by Linda, in the 2000 Liters tank. Also on the photo are Linda's mother and Lenard.

A view of the village.

These are the houses by the church. The oldest part of the village. How old?... nobody knows for sure. Looks quite Roman to me. By the way, Milko (a cousin) said there was an old ruin just up the hill. An old Roman water well. Slovenia has lots of history!
