    I know all these places, except a restaurant.
    It seems that you have a tourist guide who explained all that well.

    Now a days you don't need a tour guide, travel sites like Tripadvisor and google search gives you all you want and more.
    Moving on to the Slovenian capital Ljubljana...

    Alaska

    Seward Harbor, Seward, Alaska


    Exit Glacier, near Seward - Glaciers always have that divine feeling, as they often are the starting points of rivers


    Mountains around Anchorage

    Unfortunately, because of the constant cloud cover and rain, the pictures did not come out to be quite sharp.

    New Delhi and Hawaii

    Namaste,

    A mango festival is held in New Delhi every summer where they bring in most varieties of mangoes grown in India. This year they had some 750 varieties on display with some available for purchase.







    After his coronation King George V came to Delhi to announce his coronation and to seek the allegiance of all the maharajas and other ruling functionaries. A special park called Coronation Park was built for the event and a stage erected for him to sit on so as to be visible to everyone. This park still stands today with a plaque about his visit there. Point of interest; in old times, the letter U was denoted as V. So, the letter W, double U or two U's was a combination of two U's, which in those days were V's. That is the origin of the notation for the letter W. Later on the printers had some problem following that tradition due to mechanical difficulties and the notations for U and V were swapped to what we have today. This can be seen in the plaque below.





    This multi-colored sparrow like bird is native to Hawaii, but may be found on the mainland USA too.



    Pranam.

    Namaste,

    Dale Chihuly, a renowned glass artist is a native of Tacoma, Washington. His work is on display in the Tacoma and the Seattle glass museums. Here are some blown glass/sculpted glass objects arranged to look like a garden.



    Some more blown glass/sculpted glass objects.


    Mt. Rainier with its 14,400 ft altitude summit peaking out of the clouds. It is on the list of 17 most dangerous volcanoes in the world.
