Ancient Roman Architects–Split, Croatia

I know you’re tired of the superlatives by now. Charlie’s jaw dropped again. Big deal. He must be exaggerating. Sheesh, man, get over it. Split, Croatia almost never made the list. One of our early winnowing techniques during research was to look at the first few dozen photos of a…

Plitvice Lakes, an Alternate Universe

I’m not sure I can take anymore. Every time I think, “Okay, Croatia has shown me everything it’s got. I’m going to get used to it now and the world around me will feel normal again,”  the country upends my brain pan again. We entered the alternate universe called Plitvice…

Ongoing Psychological Weirdness in Croatia

We’re getting surprises every day on the prices of things. Sometimes very cheap, sometimes very expensive. $6 per coffee at a place on the harbor and the waiter had tourist fatigue to the max. Not friendly. $1.20 glass of wine, $1.50 glass of beer, also on the harbor, waitress with…
