Ljubliana, Slovenia

Next stop - Slovenia.  We started out by attending sacrament meeting in Ljubliana.  The ward was a small one, but they had a few newly baptized members who gave really good talks.  Of course, it's always nice to visit with the American missionaries.  Ryan met a senior couple who were from Idaho and (not surprisingly) they knew someone in common (thompsons maybe?  can't remember).
After church, we headed into the city for some sightseeing.  It wasn't a huge city with a lot to see, but I kind of like that it wasn't overwhelming.  They had some really interesting architecture.  It seemed that almost everyone who was out and about was local, no tourists.
Walking through the market area
Enjoying some of the best food of the trip - Cevapcici and more!
Brave Ryan has no problem filling up at the local water spouts (or as my brit-speaking kiddos call all water faucets - "the tap")
Behind Carver are the 3 bridges overlooking the main square.
When we got to this point of our stroll along the river, we saw a distinct shift from the more developed high traffic area to what looked like very rundown houses and the blue collar area.
The 3 bridges - this is the main hangout in laid-back Ljubljana 
This is just inside a super fancy department store off of the main square.
We capped off our day with some locally made gelato.  Like our lunch, and the rest of Ljubljana for that matter, it did not disappoint.
