Plitvice

Plitvice is a unique place ecologically, because its calcium deposits form newer and better waterfalls at all times and because of the clear water its natural filters create. We walked around eight miles of the Plitvice waterfall area with Sandra and Tom Sibley on our weekend jaunt through three of Croatia's famous sites. It was breathtakingly beautiful.

Croatia is BEAUTIFUL!

I didn't know very much about Croatia before going there a week or so ago--OK, I didn't know pretty much anything about Croatia. But it's a wonderful country, young because it's only been a country for about a decade and old because it has a long, fascinating history, some of which I may get around to writing about in a future entry. But for now, I'm here to tell you that this country is flat-out gorgeous. It has an 800-mile coastline, beautiful vineyards and trees, and gorgeous architecture.
