I am going to jump ahead one stop to tell you about my time in Slovenia. (Budapest update to come later.) I'll start by saying this, "You should go!" In fact, go right now if possible. I found Slovenia to be brilliant. In the northwest it has the Julian Alps, in the east it has wine country, the southwest has a bit of coast (and you can always go to Croatia for more of that), and Ljubljana is a t...

Rog 4

Here I found the more textured green peeling paint contrasted/complemented the bright blue smooth plastic barrel.

Rog 5

I liked that the artist seemed to be inspired by the "insane asylum" pastel green (or, to my roomies, "living room" green)of the room this canvas was in. It couldn't look better if it were anywhere else!

Rog 6

One large grand floor room was full of steel bins tainted with various textures and colors. Here, the powdery texture was captured sharply along with the fading yellow.

Rog 7

The bottom of these bins looked like dry arid salt flats, but had the hue of the Adriatic Sea

Rog 8

This room was a not uncommon sight in this 70,000 square meter building. Still plenty of space for new inhabitants I'd say!

But then again, I don't know if I would want to live in any room where I had to remove this ominous looking tin.

Rog 10

Finally, I decided I had to leave them a nice little message of what I thought of good old Ljubljana.

Lasko's
Pete, how many Lasko's into the night were you to climb into a doorless room with two grungy mattresses! It's great to read your blogs knowing you are on to your next adventure and are still alive!

Love the photos
Pete - your photos are really wonderful and give texture to your commentary. Thank you for sharing. Hopefully, your dad and I will be able to see all of your trip photos one of these days. Personally, I was ready to hop a plane to Slovenia -- but then again, I think I'll wait until the current airport crisis has faded. Good traveling. Can't wait to hear of new adventures.

Peter, You photos are beautiful and I love your stories. You should really become a travel journalist. Wish I was on such an amazing trip. I'm getting the travel itch! We miss you back here in NYC. See you in a few months! Hugs, Jenn

Livin the dream
Father, your blog has made its way around our class, keep up the good work and let me know when you are coming back to Seattle. Schaake and I are off to Costa Rica for 2 weeks and then down the Peru to meet Lampitt for a hiking trip. Let's swap stories when you get into town. Bon voyage, Gav

Hey, I came around this post when browsing for Burma... well, long distance away... just a comment, or better correction... you didn't go to lake bovec (as it doesn't exist) but to lake bohinj... Bovec is just an interesting old village in Trenta valley, just over the hills from Lake Bohinj... :)
