I thought I heard something and turned to Catey. "You have a horny brain?"
She looked at me confused. "What?! I don't have a horny brain. If that was the case I'd be doing every brain around me."
I chocked on some laughter. "Thank God I'm simple minded then."
Today was an excellent short day in the city.
After a very eventful day of resting in the morning and going out in the afternoon, we headed out at nine for Ljubljana! It was only an hour and a half away, and I was glad not to have been as sick as the previous day so I could enjoy the trip. I can't say for others, because they drank alot, which wasn't a smart thing if we had to wake up in the morning. From 3 to 5 in the morning I heard someone throwing up in the bathroom on our floor. It made me nauseated, because I still felt a bit queasy from whatever got me sick that day.
Luckily I got well enough to travel and we viewed the beautiful city of Ljubljana. The good news is that we got there early in the morning, so there were stores open and a square entirely dedicated to selling tourist items, clothes and food. An open market! I love those! The bad news was that it happened to be on a Saturday that we visited and everything closed around 2. EVERYTHING. But for the most part I had a good time.
It was cold, so I had to buy a head piece and gloves in the market area before we could go any more. Catey, Mei Cheng and Huegette were with me. They were kind enough to say that my hair looked like Marg from the Simposons when my scarf came off from trying on the hat. A completely random man, who stood there at the time, laughed and agreed with them. Why did he have to understand English then?!
After that scenario, and Huegette buying some fruit that looked delicious and inexpensive, we went to he famous Dragon Bridge. Legend has it that if a virgin crossed the bridge, its tale would wag. There were four dragons on each perch and I had the imagination of a little girl who had complete faith in the dragons crossing over and their tails wagging. But as Mei Cheng says, "You're too childish darling."
Oh well, at least we took some nice pictures.
The city is a good size city with not much people, so with a map we went looking at the stores. Excuse me, they bought, I looked. They didn't have anything in my size, since Europe has alot of small women compared to the US. And if they did have something, it would not be what I would wear. A funny thing happened though. Mei cheng found these leather pants and we went to go try them on. Huegette wasn't there to try, but Catey, Mei and I all fit! It was like, "Sisters of the travelling leather booty shorts!" I was so excited, and even though Mei didn't show us how she looked because she thinks she is fat (In Chinese terms yes, but normally no she is not) I knew we all looked sexy in it.
We then spent time looking for stores to be in because it was so cold outside. On the bus ride up we literally watched the scenery change from grassy to snowy! It was both pretty and cold!
I had a hard time deciding what to get for my dad, because nothing jumped out for him. There were a few nice items, like some funky shaped candles and angles made from scratch, but nothing screamed him. Still looking.
We saw this funky door. It was weird!
We ate at a restaurant that Boris, our bus driver, suggested to us. It was two restaurants staked on top of each other. Down stairs they served pizza, while upstairs, where we ate, they served full meals. We choose a nice little corner and ordered our food. I wanted to eat pizza, but when travelling with a group you go where the majority goes. I ordered spaghetti and sauce for a beginner, then chicken cooked in bread with rice for my meal, and lastly ice cream with seasonal fruit. I enjoyed the meal, though the chicken needed some more moisture. Huegette didn't really like her meal at all, something funky about the pork she ate. The others enjoyed their meal and the desert was awesome. Cateys soup was salty for her, and I had to question what type of meat she got because thez had wild game and horse on the menu! I felt soooo sad for the horses. As for our waiter, he was okay looking, not hard on the eyes. He had a little thing for Huegette and called her My Lady. It was funny because she always gets hit on. We ended up taking a picture with him, and of ourselves of course. When we left we spotted the Professor and Shawn at the bar, and we went over to say hi. Paddy bought himself a nice hat that made him look like a detective. Not Sherlock Holmes hat, but a nice black one.
After eating we went out and walked about the town. During this time all of the stores were closed and I had the sudden urge to go pee. But none of the stores were opened, even the public bathroom which you have to pay money to use, was locked! SO I held it in till I asked the Paddy for a pit stop on the ride back. Thank God we did.
On the bus ride back Boris put in this movie called Soul Plane. Only a phrase can sum up that movie Stereotypical black funnies on an airplane. I was shocked, because I thought it was a dance video like Soul Train, and I thought okay, this shouldn't be that bad. Wrong. I was laughing my butt off!
That's as far as I will go on commenting on that movie. On a side note, at the end when I said I liked the movie, the professor looked at me and said, "I am glad that you liked it LaVana, because I saw my entire career flash before my eyes."
Yeah, fun times.
After that we reached the Hostel and packed for tomorrow. I didn't go out anymore, and made myself comfortable for the night.
