Croatia!

We weren't in a very touristy part of Croatia, so there weren't too many things to take pictures of. I thought it was interesting how there were pink buildings everywhere. I guess they must like pink!


This is the one place where we didn't perform in a church. I thought this one was neat though.

There was a park with these huge flower creations that were pretty neat. If you look at the building behind it you will get an idea of how big it actually is.

I loved the windows in Europe. You could find neat designs like this all over the place.

More quaint streets..




This is where we performed when we were in Croatia. I had someone else take the pictures, and for some reason she didn't get them to focus very well, but I wanted to put them up anyway.

I am on the far left in the dress. I bought this dress in Croatia for a really good price and I love it!

This is the view out of my hotel window.

And me! With the view behind me.

This was the neatest swing ever! It was so fun to just lay down and rock back and forth... until a lady came up and tried to tell me that I was too old to enjoy the park. 12 and under. Ugh.

Okay, so I think this is pretty interesting.. and this is mostly for you mom.. Remember how you told me that the waiter on our cruise told us how beautiful the capital of Croatia was, Zagreb? Well, here is the city center, it is beautiful and clean and everything...

There was a McDonalds that was really nice inside (I didn't eat there)...
Then... duh duh duh!!!

This is what you got when you stepped out of the center of the city-

...and this...

... and finally, this. Interesting! They are so proud of their city, but only the middle of the city is nice. The rest is beaten up and not taken care of. Sad.
Okay, one last thing.. and this is mainly for the boys.. Justin, Chancy, Mckay, Baxter... and who ever else is into all those Call of Duty and Halo games. I just HAD to take a video of this because it reminded me of those games and I thought all those brothers of mine would have LOVED this about my hotel room. We think they had this so that they can be ready in case another war starts up because Croatia is always beat up during wars... so here you go!



What do you think of that!? Crazy!

Well, Stay tuned!!

I don't even know enough about Halo to know if they'd like it or not. I'll bet you it is not only a bomb proof window but a black-out window also . . . so the planes can't see the building when the lights are on inside. WOW!

I love that you got kicked off of the swing . . . . grow up girl ;) NOT!

The Islands we visited were like Croatia . . . I didn't post any pictures but some of those Islanders live in squabble we just can't imagine living in . . . . sad.

I loved our waiter on that 1st cruise. This cruise our waiter tried but had NO personality!!! Can't even remember his name.

I also love that you notice little details like I do (and take pictures of them) like the ironwork on the windows! COOL!

Love your posts!
