This Wednesday’s Wonder: Lake Bled is what fairytales are made of…and not those Grimm’s kind where everyone dies.
It all started with a Christmas gift. It was a Hans Christian Andersen book set (yes, yes and Grimm’s Fairytales were another gifted book set, too, but the American kind where every one lives happily ever after). Tales like The Ugly Duckling, and The Princess and the Pea (who I know see was a high-maintenance painintheass) danced in my head as I conjured up a fairytale-esque settings. Most of this imaginative work was done with the help of Disney, where I used Sleeping Beauty’s un-humble abode as a backdrop for that poor sap of a princess and her pea.
Anyway, I never thought a place as pretty as what was described or drawn in those fairytales could actually exist. That is, until we went to Lake Bled in Slovenia. Then we saw what was basically my imagination from the ages of three-to-ten years old. Fairytales do exist. And they are beautiful.
