I plan to blog here regularly throughout my time in Slovenia, so if you're interested in my (mis)adventures, check frequently. And please comment...half of the reason I'm doing this is to connect back with the English-speaking world. It will make me very happy to hear reactions (or random interjections) from the outside.
So here was today: After a long day's journey into night and back out again (in which I accomplished nothing necessary but did watch House and do an Atlantic Puzzler), I arrived at the extremely chill Ljubljana airport. I don't think they even stamped my passport. I took a cab into town and arrived at my lovely little apartment. I access the place via a door in a parking lot. That's it, no hallway, just a door that I open and I am in my room. I spent a while walking around and getting acquainted with the city—and getting snubbed by a waitress who just completely forgot I had ordered food—I read Middlesex in Tivoli Park for a little while. (Unfortunately, I'm really liking the book, which will help in my quest to do all of my school stuff last minute.) I then had dinner at Tomato and read with a glass of wine at a place called Antico in the old town.
I also finally heard from the marines! They're hosting a breakfast for Americans on Saturday, so I'll be going to that. Yay, American Marines in Ljubljana.
OK, this post was no fun because I am hideously jetlagged and need to sleep. More to come tomorrow!
P.S. The dragons send their best.
I [heart] Middlesex!
