That gorgeous expance of blue rocky goodness is Croatia! We drove out of the Alps yesterday and into Italy. We ate a dinner of three different types of pizza (non of which I had ever even come close to tasting before) under a tree in the town square. It was raining, but not on us. We drove into the night. And then through much of the night on Italy's superfast highways. I got a lot of practice reading road signs. Around one we were all too tired to keep going so we pulled over at a gas station and slept between semis and campers for the rest of the night. Breakfast was at six the next moring. It consisted of juice and packaged pastries. (croissants, or however you spell them. Ye olde computer here doesn't have a spell check so whatev's. Just another thing you have to deal with). We drove on. I slept most of the morning waking only briefly to pull out my passport on the border of Slovenia. I then proceeded to sleep through slovenia. I only remember seeing one oddly shaped gray building and that was it. Slovenia did win the prize for the cutest boarder guard though. On we drove... through Slovenia and into Croatia.



We decided to take the slighty longer beach road instead of the highway, because 1) it was prettier and 2), we really didn't have any idea where we wanted to wind up anyway. I think we sort of hoped we'd wind up in Split.



A quick example of croatian guard rails.



An island. I imagined Minotaurs living on the island.

Then I fell back asleep.
