Koper was great. We had a short drive through the southern Slovenian wine country, and it was lovely. Koper is a very industrial city, and it wasn't the most beautiful place we could have visited on the Slovene coast but it was still very cool.
We went to the lamest beach I have ever been to, complete with uniquely European facets like very tan overweight women, speedos, and topless sunbathing. But it was still very cool to experience the ocean, and see the Adriatic.
We stayed last night in Korte, a small town in the foothills leading to the sea. We were right on a ridge in our hostel with amazing views overlooking the valleys on either side.
The concert was tough that night, as the acoustic in the Church was a little strange. But we had a wonderful time, and got to mingle with a local choir over cheese and apple juice (the LDS version of vino) afterward.

Today we started in the Postojna Caves, a complex of caves that is some absurd distance long, and they were SO cool. The pictures tell the story here, but I will tell you that it takes 50-80 years for one millimeter if a stalactite to grow. So you can just imagine how old this cave is.
We then went on our way to Ljubljana, the capitol of Slovenia, where we are currently staying. I wish we had more time here, because it is honestly my favorite place so far on this trip. It's absolutely wonderful; much less busy and crowded than Praha, but still with the big city feel.
I won't put pictures up from the concert due to lack of time. The pictures take a long time to load at it is late late late here!
Tomorrow we depart for Salzburg, which will also be wonderful. But I'm not ready to leave sLOVEnija!!
