The Wobbling Sprocket

We love Ljubljana.   Both the Croatia Tour and the Slovenia tour start and end there.  It’s laid back and is chock full of enchanting street cafes.  It’s also full of history.  There are roman ruins that you can go see in the basement of the museum.  It was a cultural cross roads and, in some ways, still is.  I’ve wandered around town photographing nothing more than front doors.  They are massive and spectacular.  You can see some here.

It seems that, in addition to having a coffee in  one of the many sidewalk cafes, we can now have a glass of raw, unpasteurized milk dispensed from a street side vending machine.  This seems down right un-American.  However, it does seem completely appropriate for Slovenia which is dotted with beautiful dairy farms and picturesque haystacks.

I don’t profess to know the pro’s and con’s of raw milk for general consumption.  I do know that I would be more likely to drink some in Slovenia than in the US.   Most people actually do a lot of thing overseas that they would not do at home….swinging above and plunging 30 feet into the Nam Song river outside Vangvieng and eating cicadas and a lot of other things come to mind.

We’ll have to check it out next time we are off to Ljubljana….
