Adventures in Wagarville

Last weekend we went home to Kingston and took a day trip to Wagarville, Ontario which is about an hour's drive north. Mike's Grandpa Wagar grew up on a farm here and we saw the old house they used to live in. I've been wanting to go for years and Gramma's always tried to dampen my expectations: "If you blink you'll miss it!" and though that's quite true--seeing as the sign was hand-written on a piece of 2x4--I'm really glad we all went out there on this bright sunny day.

Na zdravje ("Australia") Slovenija!

We've just come back to Toronto after spending an amazing week in beautiful Slovenia. We stayed in a small village in the low mountains near the capital city of Ljubljana where Kyle & Masa got married.

We were completely blown away by the varied landscapes of this tiny ex-Yugoslavian country which is sandwiched between Italy & Crotaia: cobbled streets and riverside patios, stalagmites in the karst caves of Postojna, a castle built into the side of a cliff, glacial lakes and pretty villages... One day we would be swimming in the salty waters of the Adriatic Sea and the next we were high up in the Julian Alps.

And what do you know, the cheap beers and yummy foods really weren't so hard to adjust to either! ;)
