We have educational tv here called PBS & for 2 days gave a tour of places in Slovenia, Montenegro & Bosnia. My Grandfather is from Ljubljana, Slovenia. What a beautiful city it is! They showed Dubrovnik (in Montenegro) & called it "the pearl of the Adriatic. Also showed Bosnia & still damage from the war. It is mostly Muslim there.
I would love to go to Slovenia some day... I have relatives there. My Gramma grew up about 20 miles from my Grammpa - a town called Igg(?). Funny that they grew up so close but really met in Duluth, Minnesota. Lots of Slovenians there!
After the kids were grown, my Gramma moved here- to Milwaukee.
I have copies of when they came here by boat -- about 1 yr apart. It shows the date & even the name of ship they came in on.
