About the Slovenia

Bled Lake


Slovenia is the former Yugoslavian country. Is the LAND OF THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE ALPS and GREEN COUNTRY. A very small country, located in the Central part of Europe (neighbors country are Hungary,austria,italy and croatia). only 2 million inhabitants. Slovenia has eight more less distinct regions. Ljubljana is the Capital. People speak in slovene every regions has there own accent. Tolar is the Currency. Slovenia is new member of the European Union since last year.

People here are very friendly. They love talking. When they talk. They talk very loud. They love sports very much. If peoples from the Balkan peninsula come to slovenia. slovenians reacts diffirently, I dont know why?

Food in Slovenia or they say in slovene Domaca hrana. Potica (cake consisting of a sheet of pastry spread with a rich filling and rolled up)Krofi (means Donut) Flancati consisting of flour, constarch,eggs and leaven. Also Apple pie consisting of lots apples,raisin,cimet,butter,sugar and breadcrumbs. This foods which I mentioned it, are really really good sarapppppppp....


The arc of the alps extends to Slovenia through the south east limestone alps so the ridges are sharp, there are extensive screes beneath the crumbling cliffs and overall, there is powerful glacial formation. The image is completed by the characteristic white grey colour and the varied flora.

The western group, the Julian alps, is closely associated with Triglav (2864m), the highest peak and national symbol of Slovenia, also potrayed on the country´s coat-of-arms. A wide area. Three river cut into the triglav massif: the Soca, the Sava Dolinka and Sava Bohinjka.


Bled, Lipica, Portoroz, Postojna and the Capital (Ljubljana) are the best know places for the tourist here in Slovenia.

Bled because of its Lake, On the middle of the Lake located the a very small beautiful church and very popular for tourist. Going there you must take the boat. This church is very popular for the tourist not because is beautiful, people do get married here but not the Locals, the tourist, including us, and former president of the Slovenia. On this Church theres a saying if you get married here after the ceremony you had to make a wish and ring the bell three times. During the winter the Lake is very icy, you can do the ice skating if you want. Beside the Church theres a Castle and Museum on the Top. Also you can play a minigolf. Lipica for its horses. Postojna for its famous underground caves. Portoroz becuase of its beautiful coast Germans and Italians are most popular visitors here in portoroz during the summer.

Changing the Plan
Yesterday, Mare and I arrange that we will go to the shopping mall to buy some stuffs but plan was changed due to the snow. Yup, it was snowing the whole day. So we didn´t go.. I need to buy also some springclothes for me. Maybe tomorrow if the weather will be good


Almost one month now, since i remember that I was been in the shopping back then I was just at home with the twins. The reason was the Virus spreading here in Slovenia. Many people have flue and difficult to breath. Hospitals are full no more space for others. Most of the sick are the Infants and young kids. Doctors advices not to bring the kid to the open places.

Twins




My Twins (Patrick and Joshua) are already 15 months old. I remember when got born theyre so tiny and very soft. At this stage is very difficult for me because they always fight from one to another. Maybe because of the gums, teeth still coming out. I have difficulties with Patrick, he always want me to carry him. his very idle to walk but unlike Joshua, his opposite of him. But on the otherside theyre so cute twins. some of the people saying that theyre not my sons because were not similar to each other. You know having a twins is not easy job. Doing things twice.

Joshua is the eldest. when he was born, weight 2 kls. & 487 grms. while Patrick, weight 2 kls & 586 grms. here in Slovenia they dont use the lbs. Twins born on the cs section. I remember before i gave birth, I almost can´t walk coz my tummy was so big. I eves see my fingers on my foot or cutting them. On the otherside I am happy that theyre very healthy and clever boys.
