Back in my room after a very pleasant day in Dubrovnik, Croatia. I loved it as much as I thought I would. It totally reminded me of the house that "The Transporter" owned, on the Mediterranean coast somewhere...absolutely a dream location....and simplistic architecture....The people were lovely, nice and helpful....I can’t tell you how much I really enjoyed myself!!
After I finished my tour there, inside the walls of Dubrovnik, everything is inside the walls, as far as shopping goes....it’s called the "Old Town" and lies just on the water.
I did end up going to a topless nude place, but nobody that I saw was nude there....Good thing probably.....talk about awwwkwwwwaaarrrrddd!!
Anyway, had a coffee upon arrival and met some very nice people on my same cruise ship, Carnival Liberty, from Toronto Canada...They took a few pics of me at the cafe sitting sipping my expresso....it was funny too, the guy showed up out of nowhere, just when I was trying to figure out how I was going to get my picture taken, BAM!!!
Anyway, after I finished my coffee, went for a little walk around the town, inside it’s old, ancient walls, estimated to be built around 1,600’s...to 1,700’s, I believe....
Then found a church which was at the top of what Rome’s equivalent, but not as grand, Spanish Steps....that’s what I called them....anyway, went into that church and luckily there wasn’t a mass going on...prayed, (they are Catholic mostly there) and then lit two candles......it was really emotional....I cried or started to just thinking how fortunate I have been, etc....to have my family, friends, clients, etc.....anyway, moving on.....
I finished my tour inside "Old Town" at Cafe Festival where I had a vegetarian lunch and sampled their local red wine....tasted kind of like spiked grape juice, guess that’s what it was, right? LOL Anyway, it was average to a bit above, definitely not bad. Took pics of both sides of the street scene from there, and the flag atop the entry to "Old Town" then headed back to my bus and came back to the ship to enjoy a long afternoon, on deck, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. I also brought a cd that I had made, "The Way of Love" and really had a very pleasant time out on deck.....
Then went to have a little early dinner and back in the cabin I came....and here I am.
Now going to go through my pics, oh, cancelled my yoga class for tonight and
my spin class for the morning....my lower back is still sore and starting to feel better, but don’t want to push it....not eating much anyway....I hope that I don’t gain weight on this trip! Anyway, going to go through my pics now and still listening to this fabulous cd...glad I made it before I left....love this mix of "My Beautiful Friend" by The Charlatans that I put on it....it’s really a great sound and vibe to it.....sounds kind of like Madonna.
Bought Madonna Sean and my friend, John T-shirts there....it was weird when I was in the tshirt shop, Madonna’s version of Like a Virgin/Hollywood Medley (from MTV Music Awards ~when she kissed Britney and Christina Aguilera) came on so I took it as a sign to buy for Sean...especially after the nightmare that I had last night.....not going to email him though, I’m sure he’s fine and he’ll just think I’m being weird if I email him to check on him...well, maybe I will, not sure yet.
Anyway, gotta get to my pics to reduce the 80 or so pics that I took in Dubrovnik....IT WAS ANOTHER SPECTACULAR STOP!! THANK YOU CARNIVAL AND DUBROVNIK FOR A GREAT DAY AND TIME. BIG SMILES
P.S. WISH I COULD EAT THIS HEALTHY AT HOME!!
