Kari found two kittens at our guesthouse! CAT COUNT: 2

Main street of the old town of Dubrovnik. We saw a bunch of kids roller blading around here because the paving stones were incredibly smooth.

We visited a cool apothecary and monastic medicine museum.

Oh the streets of the old town were so neat.

Dubrovnik is populated by hundreds of stray cats but they were all very kind. CAT COUNT: 4

The hill behind and above me has a fortress that Napoleon built because Dubrovnik was the southernmost outpost of his empire.

This is just above the coolest bar in the world the is built into the cliffs just outside the city walls.

Here's the view from that bar.

Here's the door one must pass through to get to that bar.

I took this picture of the garden around our guesthouse the morning of our second day. What a crazy place we stayed at. It had orange trees, pomegranates, kiwis, flowers, and cats galore. CAT COUNT: 8

This view was halfway through our daily walk from the guesthouse to the old town.

We found a wild Harrison! Harry was playing in a jazz group on a cruise ship
