I'm sitting in Dubrovnik at an internet cafe before we leave here tonight to head to Greece. I wish I could spend just a couple more days here... I feel like I didn't get to see and do everything that I wanted to while I was here, but I guess that means I'll just have to come back some day. But neithertheless, my days have been jam packed with activity since I've been here. On Monday once we got here, I went on a Semester at Sea trip to this little village and a folk show. The folk show was about two minutes long, and since I am extremely short and was standing in the back, I couldn't see anything! But besides that we had a really great dinner that consisted of some sort of meat and potatoes and salad and lots of wine. On Tuesday, I went to Montenegro for the day, which was beautiful. However, we were in a bus for six hours of it and only got to explore for a couple of hours. I almost preferred the nice air conditioned bus compared to the 115 degree hott weather outside in Montenegro. On Wednesday I felt like I wasted most of my day... I woke up with a migraine and spent a good part of the morning in a lot of pain and throwing up. I hate the migraines that I get, but considering I have only gotten two really bad ones since I've left I guess they are improving. Still, it was a bummer to be inside in my room for half a day yesterday when I should have been out and enjoying Croatia. I finally felt well enough to get up around two and by four I felt well enough to head into town. We grabbed a bite to eat at this wonderful Mediterranean restauraunt called Nishta and I ordered a huge plate of falafal. Yumm. It was my first meal of the day, and I ate the entire thing. We then went sunset kayaking and snorkeling. It was awesome. It felt so good to be out of my bed and in the water! I love the ocean so much... I don't know what I'm going to do when I get back to Colorado and there isn't any water to be found. We kayaked around a small island off the coast Dubrvonik, stopped to snorkel in a cave, and then kayaked back right as the sun was setting. It was so beautiful... I wish I could have taken pictures of it, but I wasn't able to have my camera with me! Today my friend Jenny and I got up early to walk around the city... I felt like I hadn't seen much of the city so it was nice to get to do this this morning. By nine o clock it was already well over a hundred degrees here so we were anxious to jump in the ocean, which we did for the rest of the day. I love swimming, especially in the ocean. I think I would live in the ocean if I could. Now I'm here, using the internet while it's available. We are trying to plan our Greece adventure and I can't wait. I wish I had some pictures to post of Croatia right now, but I haven't had time to upload them all yet so I'll post them while I'm in Greece.
We leave tonight and will be in Greece on Sunday! Athens and Santorini here I come!
