Trip to Rašica and Ljubljana


On 15th May all the students from sixth to ninth grade at our school with a special achievement of any kind went on a prize trip. Some of us read books and told about them to our Slovene teacher and some of other students accomplishments were based on other things, for example, National English Competition contest or something like that.
Anyway, at approximately quarter to eight in the morning we headed to Rašica, where Primož Trubar, author of the first Slovenian book, was born. We saw his birthplace (not the original house, because that was burned in the past), his fathers' mill and beautiful nature around his home. There was also a memorial room, where a man gave us some information (that we, ninethgraders already knew) about renaissance and humanism and about the position that Trubar lived in, and how much courage was needed to publish a book in those days.
At three o' clock, we were already in Ljubljana where we went sightseeing. We went to Cankarjev dom, where all the important performances and shows take place. We saw all the halls that are there. And at the end, we took a walk to the old part of Ljubljana.
Although, I haven't seen anything new (we went to Ljubljana in April, too), it was sort of funny to travel with students that aren't my schoolmates. Oh yes, and we should order a little cloudier weather next time because it was absolutely too hot.

I didn't like the trip. It was boring and almost nothing we saw and heared was new. We couldn't go anywhere on our own and teachers were a little cranky.
