My Croatian Experience...

Highs: Walking Dubrovnik's city walls; views from Mount Srd.

Lows: Falling while on a hike and screwing up my hand; prices being way higher than the last time I
was here.

Best Moment: Hiking to the top of Mount Srd to see an entirely different view of the Old City of
Dubrovnik.

Smells: A bit of a smokey smell on Mount Srd due to a fire that happened here around a month ago;
grilled fish.

Sounds: Waves crashing in the sea; church bells.

Sights: The City Walls of Dubrovnik ($10); War Photo Limited ($6).

Tastes: Gelato; grilled calamari; excellent produce; Posip wine; cuttlefish-ink risotto.

Purchases: None.

Street Food: Paninis; gelato; pizza.

Fun Food Finds: Great fig and truffle products; mango tic tacs; Twix in a coffee flavor.

Western Companies Out Here: McDonald's.
