A certain little munchkin I adore happens to love dinosaurs, so for Easter here in Slovenia, I went on a hunt for dinosaur eggs! I actually had a lot of fun! I made friends with two cute children about four or five years of age – we spoke different languages (yes, I do realise they …
I needed to just go for a drive to no where in particular to blow the cobwebs out… I figured when I was ready to come home, my trusty iPhone would tell me the way… Look closely and one can see someone fishing… ~ Bella
One day it’s snowing… and the next…. Oh, but first, they couldn’t get my luggage out of the door of the hotel…… …and I had rented a manual estate vehicle, but there was a glitch in their system, so they upgraded me! This is where I’m headed… the mountains of Slovenia… One day it’s snowing, …
