Things I Have Learned Whilst in Croatia…

1.     If you don't have jellies for the slippery rocks in the ocean, you're going to have a bad time: My dad slipped while entering the ocean and cut his toe. Naturally, his injury grew into a discussion on how long tetanus shots last on average.

2.      There is such thing as a traveling watermelon salesman. He travels by boat. Why do we not have this in America?

3.     If you are a waitress, your absolute worst nightmare is taking the lunch/dinner order of my current entourage: 10 people with 2 different native languages (neither of which is the Croatian).

4.     Dubrovnik was under the sovereignty of Venice for a little while there…

5.     There are people in Dubrovnik who make a living by placing exotic birds on the shoulders of passersby.

6.     Croatia has really good wine

7.     Prunes are delicious when they’re not dehydrated or used in juices designed to aid in old person digestion.

8.     Banana boats, tubing, and jet skiing are all much more fun in the Adriatic. Don’t ask me why just accept it as fact.
