I took a little treacherous swim outside the Dubrovnik castle walls, which are possibly the greatest I’ve ever seen.

I got back to my roots on my way from Split to Dubrovnik (I grew up in the backwoods of Florida). And parking the car in Dubrovnik was the tightest parking job I’ve ever seen.
Then, of course, I just happened to arrive in Dubrovnik for the Start of Summer Festival. Well, this is the land of festivals, so maybe it isn’t that coincidental. During the summer I think every city in former Yugoslavia has a festival every night.
If you’re staying in Dubrovnik stay at Villa San, the apartments are in an excellent location and the owners are super friendly.

Well, this is really crappy. The postal service didn’t send my computer to Bol because they think I owe them some money, so I had to go back to Split for another 3 days. But I met a group of fun Swedes so it turned out alright.

Still stuck in Bol waiting for my computer, I did some windsurfing.

I had to come back to Bol because my computer broke a couple weeks ago in Zagreb and my friend sent a replacement here. On my first night back I listened to a wonderful acapella group who just set up their sound equipment in the main square.

I took a small boat from Bol to Hvar, and stayed only one night, Wednesday, July 4th. Remembering the date I got homesick for Hermosa. But luckily I met and had dinner with some Canadians who were more my speed than the revelers I had met on Bol. (Of course, the Canadians couldn’t completely sympathize with me though. ;-)
And I stayed the night at the pension of a local celebrity. This old man fishes with only a fishing line off the harbor walls – he used to just use his hands – and travel channels take, what he calls unauthorized, video of him and his dog.

I hung out in Bol for 3 days, which is actually a bit long for a town this small, but they do have a bar with some flare.

I met who I thought were some very cool and beautiful Belgian girls who I made plans with to see the next night. I told them it would be best if they gave me their phone number in case anything untoward happened. Aurelie asked, “You don’t believe me?” I said, “Yes”, and actually extended my stay in Split for her, but she stood me up. Very poor showing on her part… Oh, well, easy come, easy go.

Zagreb, ahhh, I’m finally nearing beautiful-woman-land. I don’t know quite what is up with my lack of photos for this city, but I highly recommend the main square with its trams, etc. for people watching.
I met Tina one night after the bars closed at the main square. Very cute I think.
Despite all the raining, I went out to Pirhana on Wednesday night and found it to be packed!
