    Cool slo-mo I made in the butterfly atrium at the Arboretum yesterday. I wish I had gotten the name of this beauty. One of our Slovene teachers called them the supermodels of the exhibit. 🇸🇮🦋

    A trip to the Volčji Potok Arboretum offers a variety of experiences: hydrangeas to butterflies to dinosaurs, all in view of the Alps.

    FaceTime with the morski prašički. Grace came out to say “hello.” (Actually, my father took the pigloos out of the cage so Grace couldn’t hide.) They seemed to respond to me singing their favorite song, “Who Wants Parsley?” (sung to the tune of Frere Jacques) 🇸🇮🐹

    I have 45 minutes to get ready for school, including finishing my homework and packing my lunch. I feel like I’m 11 years old again. I didn’t work this hard when I was an exchange student! We spent a lot more time just hanging out and attending the occasional lecture. 🇸🇮📝😬

    Gaby Graupner is a most gracious podcast host, and I was thrilled to be invited as a guest on her show Spring Über Deinen Schatten (Jump Out Of Your Shadow). German friends: please forgive my mangling of your elegant language. 🇩🇪🎙

    Maybe you didn't know that can do a podcast interview in German, but there you go. Made with mimoLive Audio Podcaster template:

    In my language immersion rule book, any time spent watching English-language show may be offset with an equal amount of time watching Slovenian infomercials. 🐟💊☎️🇸🇮

    Rolled out a few tweaks to custom pages on Micro.blog-hosted blogs today, including performance improvements and allowing more structure to URLs, so you can create web pages like /travel/northwest or /books/fiction. (Click Posts → Pages and then edit a page. Enjoy!)

    I’m not sure why I waited so long, but I’m finally watching Good Omens. What a production! I’m so enjoying it, so much so that I broke my rule of “only 1 hour per day of English-language TV while in Slovenia” rule. I will make up for it over the next week. 😬🇸🇮
