Spotted; Santa Clause! August 24th in...Croatia?
Yes! The best celebrity sighting ever! I was lucky enough to run into Mr. Clause on my way to pick up my ferry tickets.
That was definitely a highlight.
I also saw a kitten in a bush.
Croatia was beautiful and charming; Split was better than I expected. Dometian's Palace was enormous and took my breath away.
The beach was lovely, even with the pre-teen boys throwing wet sand clumps at my head and me flipping them off in retaliation.
It was wonderful to get away and be alone, if only for a couple days. I also read three books in three days.
I hunger for it! I would love to expand my vocabulary past "free shots," "20 euros," and "open bar." I can only imagine the difficulty Carly is having back at uni.
Ick!
I was not, however, impressed with Croatian food nor tea. I got in at 7am, and decided to have a cuppa next to the water.
Just as I was thinking to myself, "Wow, this is terrible tea!" I looked down and saw the tea label, which said 'The Best Tea.'
You'll need to do a little more than that! Ha!
Definitely a good way to relax. I stayed at the Beach Hostel, which was nice because it's brand new, by the beach, and run by a cool dude. I would recommend it to anyone.
I also found a juice bar with some vegetarian wraps, which I will hit up next time I meander to Split.
The Zara there is fantastically gargantuan as well.
Danger, Will Robinson!
Unfortunately, I did not bring my big camera with me, and I only had my little guy whe I arrived and when I left.
Here are the pictures I did take; and all you skaters out there, notice how smooth everything is and how random marble benches and hits come out of nowhere! Fun!
Interesting things in Ancona....
Oh, Ps; there is a 'cat man' who walks past my apartment every day at 6 PM herding about 20 cats with him...doesn't that remind you of a certain someone, a piccolo, and mice?
Although this particular man's instrument is his sharp, 'catty' [haha] whistle. Today he only had seven cats with him,
and they were struggling to keep up. He must have been in some kind of hurry......
PPS. Check out this shop right by the Steps; eff Big and Tall! EXTRA LARGE
The lost foot from the Georgia Boys' Last night--coming soon!
