Ljubljana

Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia. The symbol of the city is a dragon, as can be seen on Dragon Bridge.

There was a food festival happening when we got there. The sucking pig was very good.

Ljubljana was pretty hipster; a substantial amount of the food stands were "all-natural" and "organic."

There was also an ice-cream-roll stand.

The doors on Ljubljana Cathedral were pretty intense.

A pretty talented bear.

Ljubljana castle overlooks the city. You can take a funicular up the hill.

Even the manholes have dragons.

In antiquity, Ljubljana was called Emona; traces of it still exist around the city.

A street bordered by the old Roman wall.

Dairy vending machines are always a good idea.

Ljubljana castle has many attractions. The one that is seared into my memory is the puppet museum.

Now you can't unsee it either.

The castle has the best views of the city.

Nature finds a way.

The castle also has some great interactive historical exhibits.

Strelec restaurant in the castle is not to be missed.

The wall tells the story of Ljubljana's history, which was sometimes unfortunate.

The local food pairs well with orange Slovenian wine, white wine with the skin left in.

Some street art has the same theme as the puppet museum.

It's time to go to Hogwarts.

Bachelor parties in Slovenia seem pretty fun.
