Istria, Meditteranean Heart

Mozart was jumping for joy, waving and calling out, as her eagle

You just never know who you will meet on the road! People add

interesting folks on our journey.

Peaceful, Pretty Plitvice Park
September 25, 2007

The sixteen, (often vivid turquoise) lakes, cascading waterfalls,
pristine forests, caves and canyons, make Plitvicka National Park
one of the prettiest areas we have visited and well deserving of
its UNESCO billing.

Ferry To Hvar
September 24, 2007

find that take accurate. We debated for a while whether

Bye Bye Dubrovnik!

Romantic Night On Our 16th
September 18, 2007

The bright pink scruffy package said “Happy 16th Wedding
Anniversary, Mommy and Daddy” and Mozart could hardly wait for
us to open it as she had been working on it in secret for a few days.

It is impossible to walk the medieval wall of Old Town Dubrovnik

A large and quiet pitch under olive trees for shade, with every
