This weekend, our good friend Mirko and his daughter,
Jovana, are visiting from Belgrade. We
were introduced to Mirko last year through a mutual friend and he invited us to
visit him in Belgrade, which was one of our favorite experiences last time around. He was very excited to see the
kids so he volunteered to drive to Ljubljana the second he
knew we were coming. In true Mirko fashion,
he arrived with watches for the whole family, perfume for the misses, and a
ridiculously difficult puzzle that took us four hours to finish (if you ask
Rosetta about it, she’ll be quick to tell you that she got the most pieces).
Neither Mirko nor Jovana have spent much time in Ljubljana,
so ironically we have turned into tour guides.
Thursday, we hit Preseren Square, the open-air market, and the
castle. Yesterday, we walked mile after
mile…er, kilometer after kilometer around the city and ended up at Neboticnik
(the skyscraper). Today, we have a park
day planned and our favorite pizza restaurant for dinner. Of course, we’ve hit all of the best ice
cream places as well. Funny how we
suddenly feel like experts on Ljubljana…
It’s been a bit crowded in our apartment with seven people
and one toilet, but it’s been a great weekend. Spending just a few days last year in Belgrade
with Mirko had a tremendous impact on us (he is truly that type of a person),
and we couldn’t be sure we would ever see him again. Meeting Jovana has been fantastic as well….Celia
and Rosetta have made a new best friend!
