• Jana apologized for missing her turn in the concession stand at Volleyball, but she had some pretty big things going on at her home. She learned though from another member that Slovenia was being recognized and recommended as an alternative tourist spot/mecca to the Czeck Republic. It seems Slovenia is a hidden, secret oasis.
