Terry's favorite hat shop in Ljubljana
Terry buys a cap during each visit. He lost a cap in Italy in March, so this year he bought two caps
From the hat shop, the Ljubljana Castle is clearly visible overlooking the city
One of the many people Terry visits when he is in Ljubljana is Monika. She works at the Museum of Modern History. Terry always learns so much from Monika about Slovenia history and the impressive exhibits Monika creates at the museum
