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

…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

I ordered this tiny salad with arugula, ricotta and strawberries drizzled with a light balsamic vinaigrette and was in absolute heaven
the restaurant is a stone’s throw from the red palace museum at La Taverna di Colombo
