First stop--Croatia

Our first port of call was Split, Croatia. We took a bus tour and a walking tour of Diocletian's Palace. The Palace was prettyamazing--really more like a walled village--a motley mix of churches, living spaces, and shops. A highlight was hearing this a cappella group echoing through one of the ruined entrance halls.They werereally good, and it was interesting to hear some native Croatian music. The Dalmatian Coast is stunningly beautiful, but the rest of the town was pretty standard Eastern European. It was a lovely day, though, so we went back to the boat to swim and hang out.
