St. Patty's Day

Not surprisingly, St. Patrick's Day isn't a big holiday in Slovenia.  In fact, as nature's way of emphasizing this, the Lubljanica River turned from its normal green to brown today with all of the rain that we've had.

Still, we decided we should check out the festivities at Patrick's Irish Pub this afternoon.  It was fairly quiet, but that was just fine.  Mommy and Daddy tasted a couple of pints of Stout from Slovenia's one and only craft brewery, Human Fish (we learned that the human fish is a blind amphibeus creature that lives in the Karst caves).  Good stuff.  The kiddos got strawberry juice, pomfrits, Guiness tattoos, and lots of coasters...the pub's owner, Mitja, gave them each a stack to take home.  And they got to spend time with their favorite folks from Tennessee, Cindy and Don.

Sy was decked out in his best Packer green, and as luck would have it, Mitja is a huge Packer fan.  He thought it was the greatest thing in the world to have a little Packer fan in his bar on St. Patty's Day and spent most of his afternoon hanging out by our table.
