back into Slovenia
Robert and John getting into being

when the Kingdom of Italy, after
losing WWII, lost the provinces of
Istria, Fiume, and part of Dalmatia to
Yugoslavia
Haystacks - a typical sight in Slovenian
fields
Planica valley, world cup ski
jumping facility under construction
There were several ski jumps being
built for all ranges of training and
competition
In Kranjska Gora after lunch, on the
ski lift up to take the "summer
toboggan" run (see track on hillside)

the lift at the top

John is into it!
Back on the trail
Lake Jasna
Robert and Liza at Lake Jasna,

...dancing
...and some folk tales
Loved the accordion
A "pass the hat" dancing game

Lunch stop in the Radovna valley...
what you don't see here is how
relieved we are to be over the pass
to get here!
