Went skiing with Ognjen and Marina at a small mountain called Čermošnjeca near Novo Mesto, Slovenia. The skiing was beautiful - I had only done it once before, and now I'm hooked. Took some nice falls and enjoyed it all. 
Here are pictures of a quiet Slovenian town and of Ognjen and me after our afternoon of skiing and a spot of warm wine.
On the way home we were stopped for speeding and were held in this enormous police station in a small town. Sat for a while on the Group W bench. We got tagged for speeding but it seemed like my Croatian friends were treated with a vengeance by the local cops in Slovenia. This is how it is, and my indignation and constitutional questions quickly evaporated. In their place, thoughts about how to pay the exorbitant fine and get the hell out of there. We waited about two hours for a judge to come and adjudicate our routine speeding ticket, and the fine was huge. We were instructed to pay the judge extra for having had to come in on a Sunday. Here is a picture of the police station:
