https://argilman.wordpress.com/2014/06
Sunday with Family; Monday in Town. Serendipity, Stupidity, and Serenity. On Serendipity, Stupidity, and…. Jan Keshen on Henry’s House. Wendy Loew-Mari on Stones. On Gardens and Knights. Thursday morning I managed to convince Larry that schlepping down to Vietri sul Mare would be just the thing. “What’s there? They’re little, right? Once we reached the coast, we went through a few kilometers of sad looking lidos and empty hotels before emerging into the chaos of Salerno during rush hour. We eventually em...

Sunday with Family; Monday in Town. Serendipity, Stupidity, and Serenity. On Serendipity, Stupidity, and…. Jan Keshen on Henry’s House. Wendy Loew-Mari on Stones. On Gardens and Knights. Friday morning we packed up to drive to Plitvice National Park. Plitvice is a network of tiered lakes, where the rock formations have channeled the water to flow through waterfalls from lake to lake. We decided to take the more coastal road before turning inland. Such glorious scenery! Fabulous dinner at the inn, with so...

June 26, 2015. June 26, 2015. We drove on, encountering the occasional biker and luckily no other cars on the narrow road. We got onto another road that Google Maps didn’t acknowledge, and crossed through some heavy forest before emerging in a village. The clouds had cleared, so we headed back to the beach we’d fou...

June 30, 2015. August 5, 2015. First through the mountains (quite literally, as we drove through a three-mile long tunnel), the along the other side of Istria’s coast, then up the mountains and through mountain valleys. But I did it, and very glad to have done so. Fabulous dinner at the inn, with soup with knaidlach (thi...

July 1, 2015. July 1, 2015. Our first afternoon, we dropped our bags and met our friendly landlord. Peek at the apartment. Portions of the Wall remain, as does an East Germany propaganda mural on a government building. After our walk, we strolled though Prenzlauer Berg. I really love this neighborhood’s human s...You are...

Sunday with Family; Monday in Town. Serendipity, Stupidity, and Serenity. On Serendipity, Stupidity, and…. Jan Keshen on Henry’s House. Wendy Loew-Mari on Stones. On Gardens and Knights. On the way back, we turned up the hill and drive the steep road up to Capaccio, perched on one of the rocks surrounding the valley. A bit of a white-knuckle ride down, but enjoyable. After a cheese lunch, we enjoyed an afternoon in our beach chairs, reading and enjoying the scene. And then sadly, packing for home. And a ...

Sunday with Family; Monday in Town. We had a lovely lunch at Larry’s cousin’s home, punctuated with the charm of the youngest Klein descendant and the good-natured jests of various football fans. Real football, not this ponsy American game. Oh, and cousin Tamar made fantastic scones. Yes, she shared the recipe! On Saturd...

June 25, 2015. June 26, 2015. The Romans Were Here. As we continued uphill, we saw the top of the 1st century Arena, the 6th largest amphitheatre in the world. Workers inside were busily setting up for a musical event for that night, so the space was taken up by trailers, equipment, and scurrying men. Huge space,...Ah we...

June 23, 2015. June 26, 2015. Two Churches, Two Towns, One Garden. I spotted an older gentleman carrying a bag of tiny fish, and felt sympathy for whoever had to clean them until I saw him stop under a tree and call out to the cats that had been waiting for him. Very happy kitties. Back on the road we visited two more li...

June 29, 2015. June 29, 2015. Oh, want to buy the 20 million dollar yacht that sailed into Rovinj? I knew that Motovan is a town that gets the most guidebook mention and visitors, so figured we’d head toward the smaller places instead. After Roc we visited Buzet. We parked near the town cemetery, and walked up to the...
