[TxTeach79]

Koper has a long history in salt production. Our guide made this sound way more poetic than you’d think.

Great pictures, beautiful scenery. I love doing the local food tours, we are in Portugal in September and that is one of the things we plan on doing. 

 

Look forward to what's to come.

 Food tours are our favorite. Great way to see the city and get a taste of the culture. We have walking food tours scheduled in Dubrovnik and Corfu this trip.

Euro is a huge deal right now. Giant screen set up in the park just like in Rijeka. They’re showing the Slovenia game in Bliss tonight.

Nothing better than hitting that ship AC after a long hot day ashore

Quick bite at Garden Cafe, steward was about to start our room so we’re out and about for a bit 

 

[TxTeach79]

So yeah, Jeffy made a big deal about needing your passport ashore here, it was in the Daily, etc… but no one ever looked at it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Stairwell art 10 aft on the construction at Meyer Werft. Cool.

Slovenia has lots of “sports guys and girls” apparently 

 

Slovenia looks amazing....er, the Amazing Race was there last year for the first time and your photos similarly prove that it's a real jewel to visit.  It's definitely on my list now.

 

Thanks Paul!!

Entering old town Koper. They’re celebrating their 1500th year as a town this year. Wild

 That's the craziest thing about Europe I found when I went back in high school...you can casually stroll into a building that's 5x older than the United States itself, maybe its just my America-brain, but that was insane to ponder for me.

Relaxing in the atrium while I wait on B’s elaborate beautification process 

 

 

So basically you barely had time to get comfortable before you had to get back up😁

How hot was hot today? What a great walking tour. Looked nice and leisurely, plenty of opportunity to take in all the beautiful scenery. Plus drinks and small bites oh yeah.

B: “so Luka moved from here to….. Dallas?!?”

 

 

It's either the brisket or the $.

You might guess it was under Venetian rule by the campanile, back when Venice was a world power.  Although not as tall as the campanile in Piazza San Marco, this one is more beautiful, the Doge would be proud.

Absolutely. Our guide talked quite a bit about that.
