Into Slovenia!

Leslie and friend, Daniela, who walked with me for a bit on the way out of Gradisca

One more Cold War relic

A supporter on the way to Slovenia 

The Isonzo River



A casual stroll through the 'Iron Curtain' of old

My first hosts in a new world (for me), Eastern Europe.  Roman and Marija on the left, their daughter Andreja and son-in-law Matija on the right. Roman and Marija live in Nova Gorica, about 100 meters from the border. Their home is located in   an area that was once patrolled by soldiers who guarded the line separating the East and the West. Roman and I were both once in the military; Roman in the Yugoslavian army, and I was in the US Navy. We were Cold War adversaries back then.
