Thursday Doors 16/9/21: Piran

I might have showed most of today’s doors in previous years, but not the lighthouse as I was up there for the first time, and not the Ferrari. This is Piran on the Slovenian coast, the first place Crystal asked to see.

These are all from one day, Saturday, September 4. After arriving from Tuscany by way of Padua the night before, we had all day to stroll around Piran, swim with mother, climb things, eat lunch in the Bosnian restaurant Sarajevo 1984, mostly ignore a bunch of Ferraris that came in revving, and finally eat lovely dinner that father prepared (and mom bought lettuce).

Even though – I must admit – doors were not the first thing on my mind that week, of course they are everywhere and seeing some was like meeting old friends, so when I clicked I did it in greeting and recognition.

I did (at least) three things for the first time: climb the (small) lighthouse, the (big) walls, and visit the Mediadom, a (mostly) digital museum. The biggest thing to climb – the St. George church tower – remains for the next time. Maybe.

No maybes about this: Piran is pretty and Crystal and Pedro loved it, no matter how on entering it the night before Crystal exclaimed: “It’s full of tourists!”

  The Tartini Theatre on the left and the pirate flag to honour the Maritime School’s Neptune’s Baptism on the right but it was cancelled in the last moment in fear of the pandemic.

• 

  Art in the Lighthouse.

• 

  The first level of the Lighthouse.

• 

  But it goes up even more.

• 

  The unique lighthouse door where we came from and had to return.

• 

  The walk up to the St. George Parish Church.

• 

  Lucky no. 13, I remember you.

• 

  At the St. George’s.

• 

  The look down to the Tartini Square. Mr. Tartini at 5 o’clock.

• 

  The way up to the church tower, left for next time. This growth is a caper bush. Really.

• 

  One of the church grounds doors.

• 

  I love the maritime theme. There is an open-air cinema behind this door.

• 

  Above the door.

• 

  Down to town. Crystal and Pedro chose white that day.

• 

  Familiar face.

• 

  So old.

• 

  One more.

• 

  The Town Hall on the Tartini Square.

• 

  After walking and climbing up and down the Walls for a while, Exit looked promising.
