Does anyone have access to Slovenian wine in the US?

Which is one of the most beautiful regions in Europe for vacation, what do you think about Istria in Croatia?

Istria is the western most county of the Republic of Croatia, and it is the largest Croatian peninsula. For Central European countries Istria is the nearest tourist destination to the seaside. It borders the Republic of Slovenia to the north, and to the west shares the sea border with the Republic of Italy., Its surface covers the area of 2.820 km', making a triangle from the river Dragonja on the west part, down to Cape Kamenjak, the most southern point of Istria, and to the east up to the massif Učka, with the highest point of 1.396 m above sea level. The Adriatic Sea washes all three sides of the Istrian indented coast, which extends across 445,1 km, being twice the length of the Istrian road line. The western Istrian coast is 242,5 km long and together with the coastline of the islands and islets stretches out on a 212,4 kilometres surface. Istria is traversed by the 45th parallel of latitude north, and thus the Istrian peninsula is situated just in the middle of the north hemisphere, or midway between the equator and the North Pole. The weather conditions are characterized by the mild Mediterranean climate, with warm and dry summers and mild pleasant winters. The sunshine amounts to 2.388 sunny hours on the average yearly. Because of the long, mostly sunny days, the longest insolation on the Istrian beaches is 10 hours daily during the summer time. There are several characteristic winds in Istria, as bora, a fierce cold northerly wind blowing southwards and bringing cloudless sky, sirocco, a hot wind blowing from the south bringing the rain, and mistral, a landward breeze blowing from the mainland to the sea. Along the coastline and on the islands there prevails the landscape with pine trees and green Mediterranean bushes, with a great number of holmoaks and strawberry trees. Woods cover nearly one third of the Istrian territory. The lowest sea temperature is in March varying between 9 and 11 °C, and the highest sea temperature is in August reaching 24 °C. The average sea salinity amounts from 36 to 38 °/C. The mild climate enables pleasant stay in Istria during the whole year. Spring time is particularly suitable for recreational stays for lovers of cycling, mountaineering, free climbing, spelunking, air sports, and diving. Summer time is advisible for staying in the renowned tourist resorts along the coast. Tourists wistful of active vacation in the months of June, July and August, with sunny days and the worm sea, are offered numerous and particularly attractive happenings with different amusements and public entertainment. The Indian summer, in late autumn, is stunningly fascinating in Istria. In September and October, when the temperature is still pleasant for staying at the seaside, one can enjoy the incredible colours of the well preserved and genuine Istrian landscape. Strollers can relax in the enchanting environment and fresh air, enjoy the hospitality of the Istrians, participate in mushroom picking, almost all over Istria, or in the event of Marunada, the gathering of marron chestnuts in the area of Lovran. By going on various interesting excursions turists will realize that a day is always too short for discovering so many Istria's peculiarities. In winter, when days are shorter and colder Istria does not lose its allurement. Istrian people during the colder period will also warmly accept their guests, with whom will gladly have a chat beside the fireplace, while drinking wine and enjoying good food. http://croatia-istria.net

Any of you following USA in the WC?

I mean seriously, would you really want to see the U.S lose to Algeria or Slovenia? In my case if it wasn't for my parent's coming over here to the U.S. I would probably be selling chicle's on the streets. However if and when they play Mexico, I have to defend the motherland and with that, I forget how to speak English during the 90 minutes of game play! I only follow the U.S. during World Cup games. Mostly because I know there not wining material but, it could potentially give me another reason to party! Agree or Disagree? Put your "Pride" aside and think about it, because as far as I'm concerned most of you Mexico fans were born in the U.S. while myself on the other hand, came from the streets of GDL. True, but you must not confuse football with immigration or politics, just like Lefty you just end up making yourself look like a complete idiot. Those are two totally different subjects and if you ask any real football fan they will tell you the same. Lefty if America is such a great country why does it's own citizen's hate Obama our President? Also why don't we have free health care like Canada? And why must we give "Bail outs" To multi-million dollar American companies who screwed themselves over in the first place? Lefty don't act all arrogant and start mixing politics with football boy, I'll school your @ss in that subject any day moron. No, jackass if it wasn't for my parents I'd be cleaning our your home with my pistolas! That last one if for the Tejano queer ^

Mexico 2010 World Cup?

If Mexico makes it out of the group stage in 1st they will player the 2nd place finisher in group B (S.korea/Argentina) If they end up wining their round of 16th game against. (S.korea/Argentina) they will then have to face the winner of Germany vs USA. NOW. If Mexico finishes 2nd in their group and they win their round of 16th game against (Argentina/S.korea) they will have to face the winner of England vs Serbia. This is just an assumption, of the "better teams" you can substitue the other teams that they could possibly face in the Second round. (ALGERIA,SLOVENIA,AUSTRIALIA,GHANA) for any of the other four I mentioned above. So if Mexico even makes it out of the group stage and then passed the round of 16th, which will already be pretty risky, it only gets tougher. do you really think they have a chance of placing in the Quaterfinals? I really hope so!!! :D but for sure this WC is going to be a tough one! What do you think? I know right the suspense is driving me crazy, and I just bought a 40'' lcd tv. it fuken takes up my whole wall, I dont even have any room en mi cuarto but at least imma watch the WC games in style watcha! :]
