Potica a delicious treat
2 more images

In Bovec people make a special treat for Easter time, this is a desert made with a fine pastry and filled with a special type of pear, brown on the inside, and nuts. The pasty is boiled in water for a few minutes. The brown sause on top is made of breadcrumbs and butter. Not sure what other special ingredients are added to this dish. It tasted delicious and it was a special treat for us that Bojan made it, so we knew that is was made the right way and at home. Thanks Bojan.

Dressed to kill, White water rafting, Slovenia

Here you can see a group of people, VTers all getting dressed up for the local custom of throwing yourself into a raging river to be dragged over rocks and nearly drowned in the name of "FUN". What is really fun is seeing all these apparently normal people getting dressed up in these funny outfits, hey guys, pay attention you're getting your picture taken for history.... ;O))))
