Winter in Ljubljana

---

Ljubljana was so beautiful in the summer, but it is amazing in the winter! There are many more locals and students around and less of the annoying tourists. The city is decorated with amazingly bright blues and the streets are lined with street vendors selling their goods including delicious mulled wine and sausages. It is so festive I really wish that I could stay for a few more weeks. I have found some great new restaurants and a falafel joint called "Falafel" that is really amazing. I am heading to Greece on Thursday for a short but needed vacation, more pix to follow!

Mulled wine and sausages on every corner! Chestnuts roasting on an open fire as well!

Street Vendors
The main walk in Ljubljana next to the river is covered by these shops with gifts and crafts.
