Looks like a wonderful time! I was there years ago and stayed at the Grand Hotel Union. Is it still there?
Saturday was great, especially after a week of unremitting clouds and rain. The Hotel is still there and busy.

Nicely done. Your narrative is first class as usual.
Thank you for you kind comment. I never liked looking into the shoebox full of unlabeled photos and wondering what was behind them. Love this country. Great customs and food.

Thanks for the feedback. I was here last year for this but it caught me by surprise as I'd simply gone into the center on Saturday AM with the camera. This time I knew it was coming, know the city a lot better, and was prepared. If I come back next year I definitely stay until carnival. And take both camera bodies this time.

And scenery 
For a small country Slovenia has more photo opportunities per square km than most places.

Interesting street photos, is this their version of Mardi Gras as in New Orleans?

Thanks iDoc. Festive is the only word to describe carnival. A bit crazy but festive crazy.

Yes, this is the equivalent of Mardi Gras. The krof (what Poles call paczki) are reminisicent of beignets in New Orleans. There is much less public drunkenness and questionably appropriate behavior.
