Thursday Doors 5/10/23: Ljubljana & dragons

Today we go back to early September and one of the last things I did in Slovenia before returning home in Tuscany: lunch in the center in Ljubljana with sister and friends and a stroll towards the dragons.

There are doors too, but it’s more about the experience itself, something that I miss most of all: urban sights and my people. The restaurant was a new Bosnian one by the Ljubljanica river, called Baščaršija, and we tasted Sarajevo beer.

Then we strolled along the river towards the Dragon Bridge and gelato. I was on the lookout for doors and messages from the street. A poet says that Ljubljana streets say all that which its inhabitants don’t. “Death to Egosystem” is brilliant.

Hoping you are well, with thanks.

Sarajevo beer and a smile.

The view right from my seat.

The view left from my seat.

Yes, the feeling is that of invasion.

The first sight of one of the four dragons and mom’s old working place on the 12th floor of “Iskra” on the right.

Towards the dragons.

Rooms to let.

A funky green one.

Here we go. A side view.

A front view. Rather ferocious.

Invader was here.

The look back where we came from.

The Central Market, designed by Jože Plečnik.

Following friends.

Just a gate.

Just a door.

The street where sister has her Airbnb rental.

“Death to Egosystem.”

Another street design.

“Vege & Good, Honest food which is good to eat”. Sounds good but too bad: the store has been vacated.
