AC's Journal Entry 10, Thursday, 10/1/08

Thursday, October 2, 2008
Our leave taking day.
After enjoying our second breakfast at the pension and the last meal we shared, the 4 co-travelers headed back to LBJ to finish their shopping and to eat the long sought after gelato! Buzz and I took off for Skofja Loka and strolled through their old town, then headed to the airport for our trip to Zurich for a couple of days, then home. Sad to be leaving SLO and vow to come back to spend more leisure time there.

Biggest disappointments:
Dot – no gelato at the end of the walk
Judy – missed opportunity at Leskove
Clare – the gas fiasco and the last farm’s location and condition

Best: Mirko and the Srpcic’s and the time spent with them.

Favorite place stayed: Dregatus

Judy’s best: Mirko pointing to himself in one of the pictures from 1961 and saying: “That’s me!”

Best Quotes:
“You’ve been in America too long if you don’t drink wine.”
“Slovene’s are nice people…. hard working… smart…. love to sing.”

We added years to our lives with all our laughter
Mountains, mountains and more mountains!
We travelled well together, Our ROOTS were found, and the trip was a success!
Approximately 1600 KM or 800 miles on two tanks of gas….oops I mean diesel.
