After a week of rain, the sun was out in full force today and we thought we should let the kiddos run off some pent-up steam. We went over to Tivoli, as did many other folks, and hiked up into the forest that covers most of the park. Rosetta said "Dober dan" to everyone we passed (her new favorite thing to do) and received mixed reactions of surprise and amusement. She must have her accent down reasonably well, as a few responded to her in Slovenian, to which she would respond, "I'm Rosetta, and this is Celia and this is Sy" (kind of like, "Hi, I'm Larry, this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl). After an hour-and-a-half of hiking up and down the hills, we had three tired, hungry, and happy kids.
We also finally got a car today, a Renault Megane station wagon. It's not pretty and we'll be packed into it like sardines, but we feel great about our first set of foreign wheels.
