 IS THIS THE SLOVENIA I LOVE? |
When we put this booklet together,
we did not set out to write another story of restoring an old house,
with all those quaint details of the process
and all the difficulties of starting a new life in a foreign country.
Peter Mayle has done that brilliantely in his Provence books,
Frances Mayes in her story about moving to Tuscany.
We, of course, could tell you all those stories too.
Just change the names from M. Didier to Stanko and his guys,
talk about Joze instead of M. Faustin. But this is not our intent.
I have set out to reconnect with the roots of my family.
At the same time our lives in America are still continuing.
It seems to be important to refocuse, to change the perspective now and then,
of how you see your own place in this world
by being part of other lives...
Anyone, not only an artist should do this.
