Rovinj...(Roveen)

We are in Croatia...got here last night for the start of Dora's art classes. Everything went well until we were to walk to our first night dinner. The restaurant was an easy 20 minute walk from the hotel...sounds like a piece of cake, right? It was lightly raining when we started...that turned into a torrential downpour for the entire walk, and then some. We estimated that it 2-3 inches in less than a half an hour!!!

Not a single person arrived dry...we had umbrella's and the rain came down so hard that we got wet under the umbrella! Anyway, today was a little better...hardly any rain. This is Rovinj...

...and this is our little hotel...

So I'm skipping to day 2...sun is out, and I'm feeling ambitious! Remember the tower in the background of the rain photo...I'm going to climb it...all 42,000 steps of 3" wide, rotting old wood treads, 40 stories high...ya, ambitious, and really stupid!

I should have known better...remember The Exorcist?

Anyway, Rovinj is beautiful...

Eventually we have to eat...and Dora has to paint...

There are flowers around all the tables...

Very dapper lady in orange (her scarf and shoes matched her hat)...

...and a guy that looked like a movie star...

...and as the sun was going down, that damned tower again...

...and finally, the sunset...
