Slovenia and Italy

Roland and I went to Ljubljana and Piran in Slovenia and Trieste and Udine in Italy for summer vacation this year. Here are a few pictures. We highly recommend Slovenia! Here's Roland at sunset in Piran.





Here I am on a pedestrian bridge in Ljubljana.

Fun with English



With all the native English speakers in Vienna, I can't imagine why they don' t pay us 5 bucks to make sure things are okay before printing.

Case and point - see picture above. It's an advertisement on a car for a race car sponsored by Bank Austria. Note the web address.

Why choose to be all cool and use the English word "team" but then go for the German for "ace?"
