On Monday, June 6, Val and I flew to Dubrovnik. We stayed until Thursday. The highlight, again, was the wall. We saw a few things that I hadn't seen with Tim, including the Franciscan and Dominican monasteries and the aquarium. The Franciscan monastery houses a pharmacy opened in 1317. We also took a boat trip which will be the subject of another post.
A cautionary note for those of you thinking of visiting Dubrovnik -- it was much more crowded than in April. The buses stream in and drop groups who crowd around a guide carrying a sign on a pole. As the ameba-like blobs of people flow around the city, an observer is struck by the cacophony of languages being spoken -- French, Italian, Japanese and English being the predominate ones. Fortunately, most of them clear out by sunset.
Enjoy the slide show.
