True love
There are two dogs at Nebesa. They look like bears but we love them
Today we decided to do some serious white water rafting on the Soca river. In our raft was our guide , Incha, a tourist from Belgium and ourselves. We were given a 10 minute safety preview about rafting on the Soca which made us realize that we were going into heavy waters.
Well after about 10 minutes we realized that we have had more rapids on the Jordan river and that it was time just to paddle, relax and enjoy the green.. Green trees, green clear water and just be green. As we were taking a break on one of the shores, before starting the more strenuous part, our partner in travels (the tourist with us) complained to our guide that I wasn't paddling "evenly" enough and therefore I should change my place and be on the same place as the guide so he would make sure that our boat is evenly going down the river...
We switched and then as we went through a rapid he was thrown from the boat into the 11 degree water. I might say he wasn't happy and started arguing with the guide about the right way to steer ,,, but luckily at that point our guide just said. "this is an extreme sport- it can happen" the rest of the trip he was quiet. Jeff climbed mountains - especially one named kuk and even filmed him reenacting the climb so we can enjoy the area.
Tomorrow we are leaving Nebesa- which means heaven in slovenia- and we are off to Bohinj . This place was just so amazing and really gave us some real relaxing time.. I will miss it.

The Beauty of the Balkans
Leslie is a friend from our neighborhood, and she shared your blog with me. My husband is a nice Jewish boy from Croatia (we met there during the war -- long story), and I'm a nice Jewish girl from the NY Metropolitan area. We've done a good deal of traveling in the region, so I'm enjoying your posts. Make sure you get to the coast, some place like Piran, where you will feel as though you are in Italy. You can walk the walls of the old city (a different old city, anyway), see signs of the former Jewish ghetto, and enjoy the sea air while sipping Italian coffee.
