Ljubljana again

I came back to this lovely city today and I have had fun sitting in a cafe at the Triple Bridge, people-watching. Hot again, so any gear goes - gorgeous slim brown girls in long sun frocks or shorts, stylish hats and interesting shoes, street musicians on every corner, kids on roller blades or bicycles, adults sitting in cafes with a beer and their dogs and street vendors peddling their wares all along the river. This city has a great atmosphere: lovely houses with ornate doorways and shutters, lopsided rooftops, the romantic bridges and quaint little alleyways , plus a lovely park in the central city, where people sitting,chatting,reading or smooching! For the people of Ljubljana culture is a way of living, it has an excellent university with over 50,000 students and hosts over 1,000 cultural events every year, including the alternative and the avant- garde. The young people give it its vibrancy and it is not called 'the city of wine and dine' for nothing. I've seen some amazing platters dished up and I like their wine.
