August 17
Relatively uneventful. We spent the afternoon swimming in
the pool and reading. For dinner we went into Dubrovnik.

Maria and Aiden came by the house for lunch, and afterwards we went to a nearby village where Maria’s cousins live. That afternoon/evening definitely falls under the heading of “perks that come with knowing a native”… The village was a small one, but Maria took us to her family’s usual swimming spot, which happened to be THE MOST gorgeous place evaar. We swam and sunbathed on the rocks for a few hours before heading to dinner.

Though the place we ate at fit the general description of a restaurant.
Like most restaurants, we had to make a reservation, but in this particular
case, it was so that they could prepare enough food for us because it took
several hours to slow cook on their grill. For this reason it had a fixed menu;
the only real decision we had to make was whether we wanted to drink the wine
they made themselves, or some Croatian beer.

Due to sleep deprivation, this day is more of a blur… An
early wake up call brought us to the airport around 7, and we landed in Rome
around 9. To kill time and prevent unintentional napping, we had a delicious
lunch, and then went to Via Borghese, a beautiful park with a panoramic view of
the city. After a hellish run courtesy of my father and brother, we met up with
our Italian friends again for an authentic Roman dinner.
