Pearl of the Adriatic


Dubrovnik Symphony Orchestra

The captions are out of order . . . oh well!

The Medeivel city of Dubrovnik is a wonder. As you enter the arch heading into the walled city, you can almost imagine a knight in shining armor charging through the streets. The main street was at one time a canal separating the Roman neighborhood from the Serbs, but is now a paved walkway. Yesterday, tables were set up the entire length and a wine and food tasting event was held featuring all of the restaurants. We also attended a symphony concert in a fort, along with a critic from the New York Times. His comment was, "The conductor got as much out of that orchestra as is humanly possible. It was a very difficult symphony done well." We certainly enjoyed it, along with a gourmet meal beforehand at Gil's overlooking the harbor.

Our hotel here is on a little bay north of town. We leave shortly, with entire crew, to the Moorings to get our catamaran.

Goodness gracious! These pictures only get better. I can't believe towns like this exist. Well, I guess I always heard of them, but I thought they went away with the invention of Delta, Ford Motor Company, and the internets.
