Both of those sound very interesting.

Slovenia is a beautiful country, and I’d love to visit one day. From pictures I’ve seen, it looks a lot like the Austrian or Italian Alps...but prices there are much lower. Supposedly a great vacation destination. Good trout fishing, too, apparently.

I have traveled through Slovenia several times en route to somewhere else, and have visited Postojna cave in the southwestern part of the country (one of the largest caves, if not the largest, in Europe). Lake Bled is supposed to be very beautiful but I haven't been there. The last Bourbon king of France, Charles X (1824-1830), is buried in Slovenia (in a suburb of Gorizia, just across the border from Italy).

The best-known Slovenian-American may have been Louis Adamic, who died in 1951. He could write in an interesting way, but had strong left-wing sympathies and was a noisy backer of Tito during and after WWII. He died under mysterious circumstances, perhaps murdered by agents of Stalin because of his support for Tito. His The Native's Return has interesting sketches of Yugoslavia in the early 1930s.
