Refreshments are served under the tree outside.

The Church and the countryside provides a pleasant setting

Skofja Loka is in the distance as Terry walks down the hill from the Church
to examine a kozolec, a traditional Slovenian Hayrack.

The hay (sometimes corn) is hung above the damp alpine ground to dry

Below the Church, a family gathers the fall vegetables from the garden

 

In Skofja Loka an interesting sign hangs on the street

In Skofja Loka, we visit the library at the Capuchin Monastery

A monk shows us the Library and some of the incunabula

Simona Resman, Head of the City Library in Ljubljana, listens as
our host explains the challenges of preservation of the collection.

Simona and Terry later discuss the excellent food and drink at the
reception held after the excursion to Skofja Loka

The Vice-President of the Library Association, Karmen, also enjoys the reception

Terry finds many things made from pumpkins at the reception,
including much delicious food and this jack-o-lantern
