Dubrovnik Croatia
Yesterday Kathy and I went to see the Marko Polo museum. Marko Polo was a famous world traveler who is know for the fact that he went to Asia and brought back many of the things that they invented there to Europe like toothpaste and pasta. He was born either in Corcula (where we were yesterday) or Venice. We also saw the place that could be his birthplace, but was certainly his home at some point. The Polos did live in Corcula but the debate is where exactly Marco was born. No one is sure.
Then we took a 4 hour ferry to Dubrovnik. We are saying in a lovely house inside the city walls. The city used to be completely enclosed in a fortress and you can walk around the top of the entire perimeter. We are waiting till it's not so hot for that walk b/c there is NO shade up there!!
Last night we found an irish pub and had a few drinks. We met a Croatian who took us to a Latin club. Kathy saw two guys and she was sure they were American. I went and asked them and they were. So we started to talk to them, then a South African, then some Irish guys, and an Alaskan who knew a guy that we know from pc bulgaria!! Small world. It's so fun to be surrounded by people from all over the world. At the end of the night kathy was cornered by some lame ass guy and and lame ass Canadian. (who by the way loooooove to go out of their way to tell you how unamerican they are). I said to the guy, "hey I heard you hate Americans" (he told a guy that in the bathroom) and he said yeah i do. I said, "then fuck off b/c we're americans." He said, "but your friend likes my friend". I said, "no she doesn't", and grabbed her and away we went. It felt so good to tell someone that was such and asshat to f* off. The asshattery must be curtailed!!!!
Today we've been walking and seeing the sights. This place received heavy bombing from the Serbs as well. Those Serbs aren't too friendly to their neighbors. Not cool. It's awful to actually see the effects of a war on a city. It has really opened my eyes to the horrors of it.
Tomorrow it's the nude beach and a monestary. It'll be a fun day :-)
