June 12-21, 2009
Dubrovnik. Descent begins. Sun shining on gorgeous water with few boats. Clear a cliff and land in a small valley of greenery. This place speaks vacation. The ultimate relaxing destination. Speedy, law breaking taxi drivers. Huge fortress walls surround the old city. Walk like guards once did and see the small city within. Marble grounds. Prominent churches. Sailboats navigate around. Ships moored within.
Hvar. Six hour ferry ride to a small idyllic island paradise. Two days turned into seven. The Croatian life captured me. The refreshing, crisp sea surrounds you. Relax in private coves. Unwind on a neighboring secluded island. Swim and become one with fish. Sail the south winds on prodigious boats. Discover the near islands by kayak. Taste the sweet homemade, honey liqueur. Smell the vast lavender fields. Wakeboard the Adriatic. Savor the fresh, incredible Mediterranean cuisine. Seafood of the day, everyday. Explore the untouched land by scooter. Hear the hourly church bells. Admire the striped, maritime attire. Immediate, worldly friendships were formed. Complete acceptance. Knowing everyone on the island by day three, tourists and locals combined. A dream of reality.
