Ljubljana Slovenia
Last week Derek had two days off, and we were able to spend the day in Slovenia. The capital Ljubljana is about an hour away from Villach. We spent the day wandering the streets, doing some shopping and have some wonderful Mexican food at a little spot, Joe Pena's. It like most of the cities here has a river running through the city center. Along the river where tons of out door patios, farmers markets and cafes. It's a really beautiful city.
Derek and I really can't believe how lucky, and how blessed we are. Everyday we get to take in the beautiful world we live in. It's pretty amazing. Derek's hockey is still going great. He is leading the league in points, and his team is in 2nd place. Last week, they beat their rivals, in comeback fashion, in one of the best games I've seen in a while. Derek contributed 2 goals, and an assist, and was voted by the fans as "Player of the Game". I'm pretty proud!

Venice Italy for the day
Monday Derek and I had the opportunity to drive to Venice Italy for the day to meet some friends. Its only about 2 1/2 hours from Villach. Our friends Maggie and Dylan Stanley are playing in Italy, and was a halfway point for both of us. What better place to meet, than in Venice for the day?? Derek played with Dylan in Edmonton for the Golden Bears, and it was so great to catch up with them. Maggie is expecting in January, and looked so cute. I hope I look half as cute as she does when I am pregnant.
Venice was better and more amazing than I could have imagined. It literally felt like we were on a movie set. The city was partially flooded while we were there, and they had walking platforms set up everywhere. We were actually curious to whether the city ever flooded, and were quick to get our answer. The main square had about a foot of standing water, so we were not able to get very close to the Basilica. But I am sure we will be going back to Venice once we have visitors. We spent the afternoon exploring, eating and taking in all that Venice had to offer. It is more expensive than most cities we've been to, but understandably so since its built solely on 118 small islands,separated by canals and linked by bridges. It's defiantly a must see in our opinions! Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the day.
