Slovenia, part II

We had a great day yesterday - and it wasn't just because I got to see the new Batman movie (which was amazing, by the way).

We hit the big Ljubljana sights - the Dragon Bridge, the castle, the riverfront. Rebecca figured out, by the way, that the novel The Historian references a city called Emona, which is actually Ljubljana. Just some trivia for you.

It was quite beautiful out, and it really is a charming city. The castle left a lot to be desired, especially when you have seen other castles around Europe - even in Slovenia. I did like the painted coats of arms (I'm assuming from Austo-Hungarian days) on the walls and ceiling of the St. George Chapel in the castle. And, the view was great.

We're going to head to Lake Bled for the day, and then back to Italy.
