We just had absolutely delicious seafood at the restaurant by the guest house we are staying at. Not the best we have had (Split holds that prize) but fresh, garlicky, and reasonably priced. We got the seafood platter, with prawns, mussels, shrimp, two whole fish, squid, spinach, and potatoes. With our standard vacation drink (a liter of red wine), it was a fantastic meal. Met an older couple from Wisconsin on a month long trip (the woman on her state, 'it's good country') and spoke to the restaurant owners about Croatian athletes and the difference between the appearance of Zagreb and Dubrovnik natives. Great last seafood dinner. Tomorrow, at a place called Taj Mahal, we have 7 o'clock dinner reservations for traditional Bosnian fare.
Today, we walked around the old town, went to a modest Church across from the Rector's Palace and then visited the Jesuit church here (Ron, we took pictures) which is modeled after the Gesu church in Rome (as many Jesuit churches are). Outside of the Jesuit church, there is a miniature version of Rome's Spanish steps and a market that reminded me of Campo di Fiori. Then we took a nap, because hey, it's vacation. Following, we walked the Dubrovnik city walls, which had great views of the orange-shingled roof houses and the sea. We also ran into the NY couple we met at the zonoba (tavern restaurant) in Split and watched a Split heritage parade with them. Tomorrow, we have plans to kayak and so far, no bad news about the weather from the company, so we are still on!
Until then,
