Guess what they have a lot of in Croatia? Apparently mosquitos. Yikes. I've been bitten like crazy. I went to the pharmacy in town this morning and the woman there gave me some kind of treatment gel that is working... I just have no idea what it's made of. No matter, but I suppose I'll have to drag out the DEET... I wasn't thinking I'd need that on this leg of the trip.
The weather continues to be great... I'm in Hvar town on Hvar Island and it's lovely here despite previous reports that today was supposed to be very rainy. I'm headed to Korcula (another of the islands) this evening. I'll get in around 8pm and I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to find some place affordable to stay. Two nights there, I think, before moving on to Dubrovnik. I attended a concert last night at the Franciscan Monastery here that was amazing. There are pictures posted, and a couple of videos on youtube.
More later...

Josie,
The comment about Eastern Europe all looking the same (from a previous post), inspired me to write and encourage you to GO TO ALBANIA (if you can). Unlike other more "quaint" or "European" countries, Albania is just plain old poor. But what you will see there are entire cities made up of communist-era architecture in it's dreary and box-like state of disrepair. It would be an amazing juxtaposition from your experiences thus far I'm sure.
So fun reading about your travels. I love it. School starts tomorrow and I'm going to officially be a big old 2nd year. Crazy.
Okay, if you have any questions about Albanian travel, hit me up.
-D
Oh my...I just saw on your itinerary that you ARE going to Albania!!!!!! YIPPEEEEEE!
Okay, I'll put together a few recommendations for you. I lived in Tirana for two years, and know it well.
WOW!
