Your photos of the mask are what really brought it together for me.

We LOVED Slovenia; so much so we also want to go back soon and all we saw was Koper and Piran(both not to be missed). There are ferries between Venice and Slovenia and also train service via Trieste. Not sure about the car rental from country to country, but it seemed the roads we saw were good and would be easy to drive there (much English spoken and written in Slovenia). Hope that helps, shoot us an email if you have more questions.Jackie and Joelhttp://www.travelnwrite.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7011248318265372337.post-77091168993620399652012-11-02T06:56:21.704-07:002012-11-02T06:56:21.704-07:00Wow...

I hear Venice is an easy route to get to Slovenia (which I have plans to visit this summer). Any ideas for me?<br /><br />I just came across you blog for the first time. I love your way with words (fitting to your title, I guess). <br /><br />Here's to future travels!

You've captured some haunting shots. I never really looked at those masks as having a ghost like feel to them but now realize they do. We've walked the Venetian streets at night and it was very eerie and we always felt like we were being watched. Mary {The World Is A Book}http://www.theworldisabook.comnoreply@blogger.com
