I returned from a short trip to Europe a few days ago and wanted to share some photos of the city of my birth, Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. The market at the cathedral is the biggest in town and always has amazing fruit, vegetables and flowers.

We went to San Diego to get a few days in the sun and had great weather, in the 80’s, sunny every day, but no swimming, the water temp was 63, and way too cold

Island Silba in Croatia, hot and getting hotter
Posted in vacations, tagged croatia, islands, silba, water on August 12, 2012| Leave a Comment »
…my parents are on Silba http://silba.aventin.hr/is right now, experiencing extreme heat, unlike any they can remember since I was born and was frequenting the island with them
this is very strange since never have the islands been under such duress, with no rain, no water coming in from the mainland via boat, just an overall dearth of drinking water
