August was armed with the Rick Steves’ guidebook and the top ten things to do in Dubrovnik and led us on a tour…we were quite a challenging group as we kept veering off from his path and taking random pictures, eating food from time to time, petting dogs and cats, and pretty much foolin’ around. WE did learn a lot though and were thankful (and mighty tired) at the end. At the end of our stay, we were treated to a citywide festival of lights which commemorated the victims of the war. As we went from the old city walls to the port, we saw candles in colored glass containers throughout the sidewalks. We hope to come to this port on warmer days to do some water sports, hiking, and more museum visits.
