Milivoj Palcic (not pictured) owes the boat The Mimosa (http://www.mimosa-sp.si). He has taken our students out along the Adriatic coast of Slovenia for the two excursions. His cook (pictured) prepares a wonderful fish dinner while we are onboard. We ride along the coast and get a great view of the Piran peninsula from the water.

The castle on the cliff at Bled. This area of Slovenia belongs in a fairy tale. Bled is the name of the town as well as the lake. There is a small island in the middle of the lake with a church. It has been used as holy ground since pagan times. We will view the lake from the castle. We may go to the island; however, only if the church's renovation has been completed. There is a beautiful gorge that we will walk through in Bled as well.

Dr. Vreca, Polona, discussing the geology of Slovenia to the students. She was with the Josef Stefan Institute. She presented the students with details of Slovenian geology. This picture was taken after a climb into the mountains where we stayed in a cabin in Triglav National Park.
