Bled, Slovenia:
Thursday, November 14
Wake by 8:00, packed by 8:15, at the bus station by 9:00, arrive in
Bled by 10:40 - check in to a hotel by 11:00 and sleeeeeep
Clouds and mist drift by the castle high above Lake Bled - 200 yards
from the front door of the hotel is the shoreline from which the church on
the island is viewed
Fatigue is calmed and time for absorbing the magnitude of the journey
comes
Good pizza in the afternoon (Italy borders Slovenia just to the west)
- need something in English to read, but can't locate - why so tired?
Phone calls to the U.S. are incredibly difficult, necessary,
expensive, exhausting
Afternoon at Arbor Bistro, what a find! - young bartender waits
tables, talks - a lady comes in with a darling little five-year-old girl
who is brought a treat from the kitchen - the bartender/father comes to
pet and coo with the child - mother takes over and father and daughter
leave - we compliment mother on daughter - time passes - he returns,
mother and daughter leave - conversation with dad
Dinner - what an interesting wine carafe - is it Slovene?
Early to bed - why so tired?
