The Stone Door

 The Stone Door or the Kamenita Vrata in Croatian is a beautiful small spot of a holy place where many people come to pray and light candles for their loved ones who have passed on. We also lit some candles and took some tine in reflecting on our loved ones and our own lives as well. The area is surrounded with many ancient doors and a little further away are some small shops. One direction the street leads to is the St. Marko's church but we did not go that far. Hopefully we'll see it again next time. We were hungry so we stopped by one of many small coffee shops and restarants and found one we liked. The great food filled us up and we were off to start heading home.

Narrow Street Uphill

 There are many narrow streets to discover in Zagreb as well. Some of them are in the older parts that lead to more churches and a very religious spot called the Stone Door. Right now we are trekking uphill and looking at the many small shops and restaurants on this narrow street. We visited the Museum of Torture another year so we didn't go again. Maybe another time. Always noticing the old doors that have withered time and seen a better day.


















Wtching the World

 Visiting downtown Zagreb is always a treat. There are lots of beautiful spots to sit down and have a drink or an ice cream. That's the whole fun of it, sit down at the Trg (square) and watch the world go by. It was a beautiful sunny day making all the architecture details on the buildings very clear, and every building has its unique markings. We did sit here for quite some time and then moved on to the upper city.
