Arrive Ljubljana

God, I am tired. I arrived much too early at the airport and there was no lines at the gate.At the gate, they had these chairs with extension for your legs...so comfortable. I actually fell asleep at the airport.

Arrived in Ljubljana , took the shuttle to the hotel which is located in pedestrian only zone. The ride was dreary as there was no sun, and passing the ugly communist era housing made it more so
I waited a short bit for my room. I got a nice twin bed room but for whatever reason my WiFi was lousy. I was feeling, tired, frustrated and hungry.  I decided to walk around. All of a sudden, I hear the sweet sound of a  sax playing in the distance.  I fellow that sound to a small square where a beatnik looking cat is blowing on a horn. Sweet! We spent some time talking and I ask him to play My favorite Things by John Coltrane. He did and it sounded ---great. I left a large tip which he appreciated.  I noticed an Italian restaurant right where he was playing so I decided to eat outdoors and listen to him. After my meal, I hung out with him and chatted with people as they came by to listen as well. I was not feeling real good....

I spotted the sweet sound of the horn from across the river...
 Here he is as I eat and listen..............
