I love simple rustic food, like suasages and potatoes and beans. Oohh I'm excited.


I’m not sure exactly where I’ll be in Croatia or Serbia, yet. The brief bits I read about it were in a book my friend had. I do know I want to do beach, maybe Zagreb. If anyone has been, I’ll take recommendations. The idea of beach weather plus rainy afternoons sounds mighty fine. The pictures of Plitvice Lakes National Park are compelling. Once I get some books and do some online research I'll know more. I love both City and Country adventures in other countries.

I am heartened by and appreciative of people’s well wishes, and giddy with the thought of months of anticipation. I like knowing about a vacation way ahead; it’s more time to be able to say, silently, when faced with a difficult person or situation, “Oh that’s alright you nuggety nugget, I can put up with you today, because soon I’m going to be eating Burek (meat pie) while on a beach. So hah.”
