A Path in Croatia

 Just coming back into the main square in the Old Town where most people like to congregate over a coffee or a cool drink like my favorite Ice Tea with peach made by Jana (Yana). I had to look at the bottom picture of Steven long and hard because our son is making his path in life here in Croatia, and it looks bright. This doesn't mean we'll never see him, but it just seems far for our everyday life in Canada. We are proud of him for broadening his horizons this much, as we are proud of all our children. All three girls are on their own and life goes on.

Ships by Zadar

 On this day we took a walk down the main pier where the big boats are docked, mostly for excursions to the islands of which there are a plenty on the Dalmatian Coast. We've been to a few such trips before so right now we are laying low of bigger trips other than the travel to Zagreb which we will do soon. The new city of Zadar, well not so new anymore, but it is across the water so if we are to go to a mall or other bigger places for any needs that's where we'd go.

Around Town

 A little bit more walking around down and sitting down for another drink.

Sea & Mountain Views

 Now, we are on the way back to Zadar. It takes about 35 minutes all together so it's not that far to enjoy a nice beach. There are a few areas where this pokes stick out of the water which apparently are muscles breeding grounds. Charlie say there some special ropes or something like it underneath each poke where the muscles will stick to. As a young boy Charlie often jumped in the water and helped himself to some fresh muscles where they grow naturally in the sea. Once we were back in Zadar we checked out the Riva and we noticed a singing crowd gathering on the pier where a large boat awaited them. I believe it was a wedding party being very excited and even lighting some firecrackers. And No, we did not get arrested by the Policija / police... I just like that word pronounced - Poleeceeya.

At the Beach in Seline

 We ventured out finally to the beach. We drove by the famous Velebit Mountain where you can find the Paklenica National Park, if you are into hiking and exploring rugged terrains. Not me though. I like to walk the even plateaus, it's safer and easier, lol. However is beauty in the mountains and the sea in this area. We find a beach we've been to before in a town called Seline. It's a pebble beach with some trees for shade which is a must for me, must have shade. The water is crystal clear and once you get used to the cool temperature of the sea it soon becomes very comfortable due to the heat outside.
