I love color and tend to notice it, well, everywhere. And green was the color of Slovenia. Not only is a lot of the…
Textures? Why do we want to read about textures? Because they're foreign textures! Just kidding, but really, when I was in Slovenia, I noticed myself noticing more details everywhere we went and all of the really cool textures ranging from walls to roads and doors to plants.
