Ljubljana

Next time I play scrabble, I'm going to kick some serious butt. Having been through Central Europe, I've got some words that will use up a lot of pesky characters. I'm now in Ljubljana, Solvenia, Europe's most difficult to pronounce capital city. Once again, I've underestimated how interesting the place really is. It's another compact city with a center that looks like it just appeared from the middle ages. Cobblestone streets and a castle on the hilltop, who could ask for more.

The Franciscan Church:

I'm not really sure what this stature commemorates, but I think that maybe it's the invention of Mistletoe:

St Nicholas Cathedral (Bet you didn't know that Santa had his own church):

The doors of St Nicholas Cathedral look extremely ominous:
