Croatia


If Dad doesn't fall off a roof and kill himself.. The Teenagers have plans to go to Croatia for their 52rd anniversary. Why Croatia? Who knows, it's Mom and Dad they go where they want to go..


So here is a little peek at Croatia.

It has lots and lots of islands!



Behold the natural beauty of Plitvice National Park.  Called the Most Popular Tourist Attraction in Croatia, it spans 300 square kilometers, is made up of sixteen lakes, and accommodates waterfalls and wildlife galore.  It’s also served as a war front.. 

But does it have indoor bathrooms and places to get a diet Coke?



The town of Ston, Croatia, is protected by a wall three and a half miles long. This archaeological gem was built during the fifteen century while the region struggled for some margin of independence from the Ottoman Empire. It gradually decayed over time and was devastated by an earthquake in 1996, but restoration is presently underway.

Who knew there was more than one Great Wall in this world? The town of Ston is also know for their oyster bay.. World famous, and yummy!




Goran Tomasic and his wife Karmen of Croatia were so distraught when their dalmatian dog died that they decided to paint their house black and white in memory of their pet!

It appears that Croatians are pet lovers. Oh, and a wee bit crazy!

 And as a side note.. Dalmatians  take their name from Dalmatia, an Adriatic region that lies mostly within modern-day Croatia..

That is Bo.. He was my doggie, may he rest in peace.... I did not paint my house in Cruella Deville Modern Chic when he passed..



Google Croatian food and I bet you don't leave hungry... Never have I said to myself.. "Wish I had some fried fish skin and bones!"


Um, it might be a good place to visit if you are on a diet!




How romantic!




Okay it is super pretty and very inviting... I can see why they would want to go..

And that is todays Geography lesson... Pop quiz tomorrow!
