This summer is defined by the extreme weather. Extreme heat, extreme humidity, extreme rain...
So let's first talk about the positives. One can cook outdoors, for example this paella (by Mr. Mojček and a friend).
One can have wonderful garden parties and eat delicious food, for example these cakes (by my cousins).
Oh, there was one more thing I saw in the National Gallery and it made me feel... almost cheated and betrayed.
I'm talking about one of the most famous Slovenian paintings, The Summer by Ivana Kobilca (1890).
Well, it turns out that she did not masterfully catch a moment of summer, but it was a photograph that did it and she painted from the photo...
Don't quite know how to feel about it. It surely still is a masterpiece, I will just look at it differently.
MiniMojcek Nr. 1 did really well on a science competition, so he got plenty of tickets for museums and galleries.
No matter how often I visit the National Gallery, there is always something different that attracts my attention.
Like this altar from 1530, or - as MiniMojcek Nr. 2 called it - a Hagrid choir :-)
Then there is the wonderful painting of Ljubljana in snow by Pavel Künl, 1847, which is one of my favourite paintings there.
And this lake by Marko Pernhart (1852), which is in fact the same lake as where Mika's concert took place ;-)
We spent the main family holidays in France.
I still have (literally!) thousands of photos to sort, but just to give you some idea:
I might have missed some details (yes, I just noticed I missed another peninsula in Brittany), but you can tell that we've seen a lot.
And we've driven 5500 km.
And yes, I will post more photos - once I sort them.
And we went to see Mika playing at NoBordersMusicFestival in Italy.
Anyway, the updates.
First I went to Southern Spain.
And this church has the most unusual ceiling...
