In May, 2006, I visited the always beautiful Slovenia. I have re-connected with my teacher, Zdenko Domancic, after 16 years of absence. He has a busy clinic at the foot of the Julian Alps in the ski resort town of Kranjska Gora, just a few miles from Italy and Austria. The view and the energy were breathtaking. This time, I wasn't teaching. I was a student all over again.
