February 6, 2005
Our favorite day! Today we explore the Castello di Duino in Sistiana,
then head into Slovenia to see the town the Rota family hails from.
The castle is very beautiful, as is the town of Piran in Slovenia.
We also head into Croatia to see il Castello di i Conti Rota in
Momiano. Truely a memorable and exciting day! |
