Hello everyone! I love that I know who is reading this... Jenna and I were surprised by how many of you there were.
I wrote down a few talking points for this blog about Croatia:
1. There are cats everywhere. I was used to seeing dogs all over Italy - but stray cats seems to be the trend here. We were in an outdoor restaurant last night when we hear two cats screaming and this lady jumps up and screams because they were fighting right under her seat. The cats proceeded to repeat their chase the entire dinner.
2. I miss bottomless beverages. I cannot wait to go to Red Robin or McMenamin's in Oregon and enjoy those free refills.
3. Along those same lines... we miss free clean water. We've been living off of the 1.5L bottles of water natural.
4. The funniest thing happened at the beach today. We were laying there reading our books and relaxing when all of the sudden this girl jumps up and starts yelling. It turned out there was a lizard crawling all over her. So then this little boy gets super excited about it and starts chasing the lizard up and down the walk all through people's things. Finally, he cornered it under some poor girl's purse, went in for the kill, and grabbed it's tail. THinking that we finally caught the little bugger, he pulled it up off the ground to show everyone, only to be holding it's wiggling tail... NO BODY. I have never laughed so hard in my life. He immediatelz dropped the twitching tail and went on another search for the lizard. THe poor girl finally got the little boy to pick up the tail and he threw it in the sea. Then the lizard went scurrzing off with its stump of a tail and the boy followed again. I think it finally took refuge in a crack in the concrete.
5. There are pastry shops EVERYWHERE here. And tons and tons of outdoor drink cafes... I don't think people eat. We struggled to find soemwhere serving dinner last night. Annie: europeans have a right to make fun of us fat americans... they're all model skinny here. ALL OF THEM. The guys too. And no, Venice did not smell like pee. We also noted that all of the european women are gorgeous... and though the guys are slim, they are not attractive.
6. I also broke my camera in venice so that I can't review pictures or put them on a computer without a card reader. Luckily, I can still take pictures though.
I think that is all for now. We're off on a ferry to the island of Brac tomrorow morning. Feel free to google image beaches in Bol... and be jealous.
cheers!

Everyone is going to the movies. I'm going to draw this morning at DaVinci Days with Kris. I saw a ton of cats in Israel too. What nationality are the the majority of tourists in Croatia? Are you getting a tan? Have fun on the ferry>Mom
Its so unfair. I had a feeling it would only be skinny people.
Jenna thats perfectly understandable but am i getting you at the airport or is someone else? Sorry i seem to be very forgetful.
Just in case you were wondering... nothing exciting here.
