Bitsy's Very Happy Birthday

I awoke the morning of my birthday, from a sweet dream where I was being lovingly carried along beside the water in someone’s arms, like a child.

As soon as I was up and lucid, Dave presented me with a lovely proposal: that we would drive over to Lake Bled ( 1/2 hour away ). He would then rent a boat and row me across the lake to a tiny little island, upon which sits a darling and very old church. What a great idea! And this is what we did. First we circled the island before docking and climbing the 90+ steps to the cluster of buildings. It was literally quite dreamy, and certainly unique to all of my (many) other birthdays.

Afterwards, after returning to Stara Fuzina, we took a short hike up a nearby mountain trail where an arched stone bridge crosses a deep cravass of stream and waterfalls. On the way home I stopped to photo our little village.
