Dubrovnik!

Sorry for the fake out post :) oops! We are back in Dubrovnik now, it is more than amazing! WE just spent 2 nights out on the island of Mljet in the most amazing waterfront apartment. Nicola was so sweet to us and even offered to make us dinner for much less $ than all the yachters were paying for the seaside restaurants. wait until you see the pictures! All the big fancy private yachts have done nothing to quench Scott's thirst for becoming a skipper :) Quite the opposite! We rented a scooter and took it 1.5 hours each way to a sandy beach on the other side of the island. We also went to Odysseus' cave which was the total highlight for Scott! I was scared of the sharks. The moto scooter was a thrill as always and we cant get enough water it is soooo hot! Good thing we're here in Sept! The grilled fish here is to die for. Our other day on the island was spent at the national park taking mini boats between islands. Once we got to the monestary island Santa Maria we took a dip in the Adriatic! It is perfectly clear, with fish and lots going on underwater. Our car is about ready to pick up at the port. We will go to Montenegro today, and we are reconsidering Bosnia. We met the retired US defense council man for Bosnia. He retired just last year from advising US on Bosnian affairs. We've found lots of new friends/aquaintences here that have been really fun! Scott is as resourceful as James Bond when we travel, he always has good ideas and gets us out of pickles consistently. We just found his book in our Dubrovnik hotel that slipped under the bed- he is thrilled! Well, life is great in Croatia, its no wonder this country is considered the most beautiful in all of Europe!

Mom, be sure you call Beeg and give her the scoop! Family, thank you all for your emails, it is so fun to check email and see whats happenin on the home front. Noelle, special thanks for the H and M addresses for Croatia- maybe i'll come home with all the forward fall fashions :) ahaha. Okay, much love and stay in touch!

Odysseus' cave sounds awesome but I'm pretty sure I'd be scared of sharks too! I love that you rented the scooter, that sounds like a blast! Is the adriatic the most beautiful water you've ever swum in? I think we're all relieved that you're reconsidering bosnia. love ya! be safe!

I love meeting people on the road. Nothing brings people of all different classes together like meeting in a foreign place.
