So, I’m sitting here in the basement of a building just off the main square having a terrific Italian meal. I never would have found it but for a recommendation. Great food, Croatian red wine, BUT…not a marshmallow-covered, maple-syrup drenched yam in sight!

4 days here, then on to Cairo on Monday…and 7 days later to Bangkok!

Picking one day on which to be thankful seems silly to me for the first time. I’ve been waking up lately in full appreciation of how lucky I am for what it is that I’m doing and that my arms and legs work and I’m capable of this trek. It’s been amazing so far, and I already miss the places and people that/who made this trip what it’s already been!
Thanks to everyone who’s
Been there along the way.

I wish you all a happy Turkey Day!

Possibly my favorite picture of the trip.  THis double mirrow was somewhere along the city streets of Zagreb.

Went for a hike in Croatia’s biggest of eight national parks.  Waterfalls everywhere.  THis is at the end of the hike where the boat dropped me off.  Five hours of bus riding…1.5 hours of hiking!
