Tires and Towers: Kranj and Ljubljana
... to visualize where we actually were in the city.
That night we went to a group traditional Slovenian dinner that came with entertainment. IT WAS SO FUN. Definitely something that we wouldn't have done if my teacher didnt organize it but it turned out to be such a great time.
