Warm, sunny, beautiful, colorful Croatia!
Yep, I am now in Dubrovnik, and loving it. Dubrovnik is called the Pearl of the Adriatic; it's one of those countries in between Italy and Greece. See it here, between Slovenia and Bosnia:
It's a lovely place with lots of history. It also has over 1,000 islands, and from what I've seen so far, nearly everything in Dubrovnik is related to the sea.
Pictures from my first day:

| Panoramic of the beach |
 |
| On my way to dinner |
 |
| At dinner - this restaurant was called Agora |
 |
| The red things draped over the chairs are shawls for anyone who gets too cold |
 |
| Spaghetti with seafood - Dubrovnik has a lot of seafood |
 |
| Croatian money. The exchange rate is currently 7 Croatian kuna for one US dollar - meaning that that hundred kuna bill is only worth about $14. |

I remember when my parents and I were driving back home from visiting family in Washington, and we took a route near the ocean. It took us a day longer to get home, because we kept stopping to enjoy the awesomeness of the Oregon coast.
