These pictures are a bit out of order. The blog is "acting up" and they don't appear as I thought I had them.
From our hotel, there was a nice path that followed the coast line into the town of Piran. We walked through narrow lanes with 3-4 story houses and stores on both sides with laundry hanging out and flowers draping over the window boxes. When we rounded a corner this is the large plaza that unfolded. Evidently the harbour, which is just beyond in this picture, used to come into this area (the part that now has the shiny surface). But they said it always smelled too bad so they had it filled in. Since it was Sunday evening and a bit past the tourist season, things were slow. But it was beautiful all the same. This was one of Jenny's favorite places.
Here is a view of the plaza from the church courtyard. You can see the harbour beyond.
Weldon and I are in the church courtyard looking over the town. Weldon is consulting the ever useful 'Rick Steves' Croatia & Slovenia guide book. It was very useful. I highly recommend the Rick Steves' books for travellers.
This is the path we walked along to get to the town.
Well it's not a Kansas sunset but it was pretty all the same.
