Presenting Ljubljana in Film and Photos

Music is 'We are Young' by Fun. I decided not to caption the photos for aesthetic purposes, but if you'd like to know more, just ask! All of the people in the photos have been previously mentioned. Special thanks to Angelina (http://angelinainaustria.blogspot.com/) for pretty much all of those group shots!

Ljubljana, Slovenia

Today I went to Ljubljana with the exchange group at the University. The trip down and a tour of the city was free! The city was absolutely beautiful, partly because it was so warm and sunny. Here are a few teaser pictures. I'll be posting a video soon with more! 
The city from the top of the fortress! 


Me sitting on top of the city basically! 

Beautiful church!

Love locks! (In case you've never heard of these, basically people lock their 'love' onto the bridge and throw the key into the river, symbolizing that they'll always be together.)

Americans! (Picture stolen from Morgan)

FASCHING

Yesterday was Fasching! Fasching is basically the German/Austrian version of Mardi Gras. Everyone goes out to bars and parties before Lent! 
Me and Jen with our masks! 

It's practically like Halloween! We saw: a banana, a nun, a lego man, some cowboys and indians, policemen, a tiger, and lots more!

Nature HIKE

Hopefully this video isn't incredibly boring! I might try to do a similar one while walking in the city sometime. In any case, you get to hear some awesome music! ('Not an Animal' by Sallie Ford and the Sound Outside)

Back to the Lake!

Today was pretty much the warmest it's been since I've been here, so I decided to take a walk back to the lake. 



The ice was melting a bit, so I got a good preview of what the lake will be like soon! 


This canal leads from the lake and the trail is right alongside it. Makes for a nice walk back!

Klagenfurt am Wörthersee

Jen and I finally went to check out the lake (Wörthersee). 
Beautiful even in winter!

I'm in Austria!

Klagenfurt!

Yesterday I finally arrived in Klagenfurt! I'm still getting settled in my room, hopefully going shopping pretty soon! I have a roommate, but I think she might be on holiday right now? I haven't taken any pictures yet, but I will make sure to take some today and hopefully post them alongside a video! 

Bis Später! 
(until later)
