croatia is a strange place to visit. it's winter, so it's cold (about 0 degrees C) and has been snowing. the architecture is "soviet" inspired. the walls of every building are made of stone and painted white or grey or beige. you constantly see men outside re-paining the walls because there is graffiti everywhere. i don't have too much to say about croatia right now, so i included some photos instead!
we've been learning a lot here about the war and society since then. we were supposed to go to a city on the coast today, but it is so windy and snowy in the mountains that busses are not allowed on the roads. we'll be in zagreb until saturday. then we'll drive through slovenia to italy (sounds familiar!) to fly to morocco. currently, morocco is stable and the protests are not violent, so we're still going. should be an interesting experience!
stained glass and graffiti,
a normal combination in croatia.
the open air market, my favorite part of zagreb.
the stalls are staffed mainly by women over 80,
who are very hearty in the snow in their winter coats.
things to do in zagreb...?
not too much. lots of eating chocolate and goofing around
snow in zagreb.
walking to our hostel through the snow.
(the red building on the left is a chocolate factory,
whenever you go outside the hostel it smells like chocolate chip cookies!)
more goofing around in the hostel.
(got my hair cut)
dog bundled up for the snow. i cannot imagine corby putting up with having 4 legs through a snow suit. none of the dogs in these snow suits looked very happy. this one was pretty cute though.
lots of love,
kathleen
