Slovenian Pics

Slovenia pretty much instantly won us over with it's natural beauty, kind people, and generous helpings of delicious foods. Upon returning from our brief European travels, Camille and I both agree this is the country we would most like to go back to. Hopefully I will post more pictures of Slovenia later, as these photos barely do it justice.


Avery and the girls trying to figure out where to jump in. Being a glacier fed river, the Soca is an unbelievable color, but is also incredibly cold. We finally jumped in, spooking the trout I had been drooling over since we arrived. Apparently the Soca trout live only in this river, and are a highly prized within fly-fishing circles. Unfortunately, I didn't have my gear, and also fishing in Slovenia is an upper-class endeavor. A fishing license runs about $50/day, so you have to go with a purpose. Still makes me want to go back though...


Another picture of the stunningly beautiful Soca River.


Castle on the hill above Lake Bled.


Slovenian castle, built directly into the side of a cliff.
