Okay... so .. this day we went to the oldest city in Slovenian  Ptuj which was founded by the Romans in about 1000 bc...  the streets and the walls the pizza... all have that roman feel...

Then we traveled into the hills of Haloze where my family has a home and vineyards.  This was the home of three generations of my family... I grew up hearing many stories of this place...  it is even more peaceful and beautiful then I ever could have imagined!!  We even have a cellar with barrels and bottle our own family wine.

And then there is one pic of hops..  as in beer hops.. as in Slovenia is the number one exporter of hops to German beers... just a little fact.. next time your drinking a German beer you can think of Slovenia!!

Okay . .so I am about to leave Maribor and head to Ljubliana the land of my father...  I am not sure if I will have any internet so I may be dissapearing again until I get to Italia this weekend... but will still keep shooting away!!

If I don't get a chance to tell you all... have a wonderful weekend!!!
