Ljubljana: Beautiful even if you can't pronounce it

We spent several days in Salzburg, which is every bit as charming as "The Sound of Music" suggests--if it had rained in every scene in the film. Yes, it's spring in Europe. Still, we are so deprived of cool temps and big sidewalks that it was a pleasure to explore even in the rain.



We took a train from Austria to Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia. We are now close to the Italian border and can feel that we've left Northern Europe for the south: more wine and gelato, less beer and sauerkraut. Ljubljana is one of the most beautiful European cities I've ever seen: cobblestone paths; multiple bridges over the river that runs through the city; tons of cafes; and, of course, a castle perched atop it all.







We are in the middle of the old city. This is the entrance to our stylish (for real) Airbnb apartment (on the third floor of the pinkish building).
