Cathy and I realized on the balcony last night that we had nothing truly remarkable happen to us yesterday. We got up, ate our breakfasts, left for work individually, attended/captioned the Culture class given by Zoran, went out for lunch on the Stradun (pictured at here - see how worn the stones are?) in Old Town, captioned Art History, left work and headed to Fuego for dinner... yeah, nothing extraordinary except we're... in... Croatia!!!
But seriously, we keep saying over and over what a blessing and privilege it is to be here, not that we would take any of this for granted. There are no specific plans for today, other than the usual classes and meals and walk through a 600AD old town... but tomorrow we head to Mljet National Park (about an hour and a half northwest along the coast... and yes, I have dramamine and sunscreen) and Sunday Cathy, Vincent and myself have been invited to the Dean's house for dinner, so I'm sure we'll have more to write about early next week.
Last night Cathy and I did have a guest for dinner at Fuego. Sadly, I don't think it was our clever wit, sparkling personalities or newly acquired European ways that attracted this third diner. It was the scraps from my seafood pasta that were of most interest to him. Nicki, you'll be pleased to know we're doing our part to nourish the kitty population, one feline at a time. This little guy loved the squid and had the very best manners!
I do have a success to report, as well. I finally was able to download my camera and I have attached a few pics for your viewing pleasure.
Again, we realize what an amazing opportunity this is to be here, to do what we love to do in an environment that holds new adventures each day. A gal can't get any luckier than that.

Me-ov, grazzi!....or however kitties say "Thank You" in Croatian! They are so grateful for your scraps!
I am excited to hear you are thinking of going to Italy! Where will the ferry go? Bari or Brindisi? (accent on the first syllable, please!) My daughter, Gwen, was born in Brindisi!
No matter, it will be a beautiful ride across the Adriatic and you will *love* Italy!
You guys are keeping me in stitches with the blog! I look forward to checking it every day! Keep having fun and don't lose your sense of wonder!
Love,
Nicki
Hi Girls!! What a great time you seem to be having; I'm so happy that you are having such a great adventure and are taking in as much as you can while there - that's how it should be. I just love the things you write; it gives me a good laugh! :)
Take care and I look forward to the next blog comments!
