Thursday - Dubrovnik
Norv pretty much described my impressions of Dubrovnik - it was unbelievable. It was the second medieval walled city I've seen this week, but it was very different from Siena. Not so Disney-ish, what with bullet holes in the thick stone walls, cannons poking through openings everywhere, and most of all, with the blue, blue Adriatic surrounding it all. Stunning. We walked around the top of the wall (1.5 miles) and each step presented another breathtaking view - and of course, another photo op. We all took numerous pictures which we will undoubtedly try to show you.
It was here that my camera battery petered out - the one I just bought in Citivecchia. Apparently the charger they sold me doesn't work, and because I didn't want to take any more chances, I bought another battery and charger set and am keeping my fingers crossed. A huge proportion of my souvenir funds has gone to photographic equipment, but it seems necessary. I probably will never be here again. Now if I can just figure out how to get some of these photos on this blog; I have been trying for several days. I'm unfortunately not that familiar with the process on a Mac (Matt? Chip?). But I WILL do it - and I think you will enjoy them.
Did I say what great young men Chris and Greg are? Lots of fun, full of interesting and quirky observations, always respectful. I'm enjoying getting to know them better.
Finally, this is for Mom and Patti: we found a bar with a cool bartender who makes a killer martini, and that seems to be the place to go before our 8:30 dinner. It's nice to have a little routine in a crazy schedule like this. (Soon everyone will know our names.......)
Catch ya later.

If your pictures are on your computer, when you are writing your blog post, there should be an button in the formatting/publishing bar for adding an image. If you don't know which one it is, scroll over each one until you find the one that says "add image" or something like that. You'll be taken to a screen that will let you add an image from your computer. I know you're new to Blogger, but it's fairly easy. I'm sure Norv can help with this if need be.
Very much enjoying the trip diary, especially Norv's blow-by-blow account of the craziness of trying to find your way around.
Have fun,

Chip - thanks. I think this system on the ship is just incredibly slow. We shrunk the pictures, did everything we can think of, but it's not working - so far. We are not willing to admit defeat yet, however.
