Danny and I thoroughly enjoying the terrific food, wine and company in Korcula Town

View of Korcula from the ferry

Danny taking a moment to stop and smell the flowers in Oberic

The wall in Ston, on the Peljesac Peninsula, which is, at 5.5 km, the longest fortification in Europe.

The fortress in Dubrovnik at sunset

We passed a courtyard full of urns and stone pieces, many bearing the Croatian shield

Another view of Dubrovnik

Dad, the chronic shutterbug, in his favorite vacation pose

Mom and I in front of the Dubrovnik wall

The roofs of Dubrovnik were amazingly tiled, and some of the old ones (like this) had snapdragons growing out of them.

Trapped in Dubrovnik

Dad, Mom, Danny and I at the pizza place we frequented in Dubrovnik, trying to stay dry during the perpetual rain while we were there

The Split harbor

A statue of a bishop (which one I know not) in Split

The narrow alleys of Split

Mom, Danny and I (plus the tour guide whose name I've forgotton) at Diocletian's Palace in Split

Some of the Opatija coastline

It's tough to make out in this photo, but this is a spear-fisherman in a camouflage wetsuit hunting squid. The white area is 3 or 4 squid that he has tied to his back.

Practicing our yoga - Fierce Pose - over a tiny stream in Opatija

The beginning of the traumatic experience of ascending to the top of this rock... I'm just a wee bit scared of heights ;)

Clinging for dear life on top of the rock...

Whew... finally made it

My parents, still beautiful and in love, on a rock overlooking the harbor in Opatija

The first and only pic of our campfire that I was able to get before my batteries died. We all enjoyed the roasted marshmallows and heat on a beautiful, cool spring evening

Danny and I were trying to get a cute pic together, but I kept getting a double chin. I managed to eliminate the chin, but I don't really know that this look is actually better...

This is the face of a man who knows how to enjoy his food

Luz and Fallon enjoying their last meal at Bellevue before they left us (sniff...)

Still hanging out at the pit...

Patrick, Thomas, Adrienne, Me, Danny and Dave K 'looking natural' around the grill

mmmmMeat. Or so the carnivores present said as we prepared dinner.
