Thanksgiving Travels



Some friends and I went on a road trip for Thanksgiving break.  After a few hours of driving through the beautiful Austrian countryside, we arrived in Bled, Slovenia.  Here's a few photos from our trip!

Lake Bled is absolutely gorgeous.
We enjoyed a walk around the  lake one morning






















Those who wish to visit the island and church in the
middle of the lake can travel there on one of these boats

we found after our walk around the lake.

With the Italian border so close by, we couldn't resist a spur of the moment trip to Trieste, Italy







Our final stop before returning to Prague was Salzburg, Austria.  We were just driving through on the way home, so our visit was brief, but it was enough to convince me to come back sometime.  Salzburg is so beautiful and the Christmas markets made it even better!





I love Christmastime!







This was one of many nativity scenes displayed.
Each was beautifully and uniqued designed,
