Split-Croatia, Day 63

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

Croatia couldn’t have greeted us with a better day.

At the top of Marjan hill. We climbed about a million steps and then hiked up some steep road to get up there. We were rewarded with beautiful views of the sea and the city.

So many many more photos to share from the day, but I will have to do separate blog posts later on for all my remaining destinations.

One of the most amazing things about this trip, aside from the beautiful sights, is meeting people from all over the world!! To date (in the last 2 months) I’ve met friends from Brazil, Canada, USA, Hungary, Croatia, Germany and Australia- and we still have 1 week left!

More Ancona, Day 62

Wednesday, March 28th, 2012

What an adventure this trip has been. Learning new things about myself daily. Doing things I never thought I’d do – like sleeping on the ground of some crazy foreign city and (trying but not succeeding with) hitchhiking. I feel like I can do anything. ;)

A few pictures from the wee hours of the morning in Ancona- the day we left on the ferry for Croatia.

Cinque Terre, Day 61

Monday, March 26th, 2012

Making conversations with fellow Americans and receiving a hostel room-sharing invitation. (wrong city). Following arrows up steep stone steps and through narrow walkways. Emerging at the edge of cliff to the smell of salt water and a storm brewing over the mountain. Waves crashing into the rock. Clouds opening and dumping rain on us. Scrambling up the rock/cliff to seek shelter. Eating lunch in the doorway of someone’s apartment. Watching the rain form ripples on the sea.

Kitty-cat enjoying a lazing morning.

Katie at Manarola.

A perfect moment captured at the seaside.

A storm brewing.

Orange and lemon trees lining sidewalks and in every garden.

Spring unfolding through the Italian countryside – abundant blooming trees; green, green grass; and freshly tilled gardens. Watching from the train window as the sun set behind the mountains. “Down in the Valley” coming onto the ipod at the perfect moment.

Ancona, Day 62

Making ridiculous videos to pass the night. Sleeping on the ground outside a random building.. and later on a park bench in the middle of the day.

THAT is all. ;)

Cinque Terre, Day 60

For whatever we lose (like a you or a me),
It’s always our self we find in the sea.
