dubrovnik

left split yesterday on a bus south to dubrovnik.  it was a long bus ride, but a beautiful one.

dubrovnik is a really gorgeous city, especially the old city.  it reminds me a lot of akko in palestine.  it juts out into the sea with high ancient walls and its narrows streets hugs its inhabitants.  it is rather enchanting.  i spent the day walking around and visiting sites.  i saw one of the oldest jewish synagogues in europe.  i saw an excellent and emotionally moving photography exhibition called war photo limited about conflicts around the world.  i hate war.

later on that evening, i went out with some people from the hostel for some drinks and jazz music.  there was an irish girl with us so we ended up at an irish pub.  i was telling them about the circumstances in which i met those crazy south africans in split, and all of a sudden, they showed up.  it was classic.  they were in true form as well.  ha, ha.  good times.

today, the weather has been less than average, so i went for a long hike up some mountain and caught the scenic view of the city from above.  then, bought some groceries and lounged on a park bench.  groceries are ridiculously cheap here compared to eating out.  i wish i could say the same in the states.

hope everyone is doing well.
