I feel at home here in Slovenia. It's not that the Slovenian people are exceedingly welcoming, but I still just feel good - like I belong! That said, there are definitely some differences here I've noticed that are fun and interesting...

2. Scrabble is green:

3. Ice ("led" in Slovene) is served on the side in a separate glass with it's own ice-cube-sized serving spoon.
4. No Bikram :( .... yet! Although I have met some other Bikram yoginis on the tour, and they are awesome!
Well, that's it for today! The volleyball players here are really amazing... I wish it could just stay like this and we could be paid to play with this group of ladies because they are a spectacular accumulation of both talent and personality. I'm feeling the love and lovin' it here so far.
Tomorrow, here I come! 9AM practice and 6:30PM game, which will be live streamed here:

Hard work works! Here's why:
