First Full Day In The Family Vacation Home

What a lazy day! Breakfast was around 10, so that wasn’t any different than usual (and actually earlier than sometimes). Greg had already taken a bike ride down to the fish market (but while it was open, there is no fish on Sunday). Jan had taken a swim. But Dan and I only managed to get up and get dressed.

Our bacony view:

Then it was mostly “hang out and relax” for Dan and me. Eventually Vanessa, Avni, Jan, and the kids went to a beach, but we, being non-bathing suit sorts, stayed home. Greg was already on a second bike ride of the day at that point.

I did do a bit of work though: I did my laundry (last load before we get home!), and wrote to my oboe students and parents to see what their plans are regarding lessons. It was strange to think about how soon I’m back to work!

I didn’t bring a swimsuit, so I went down to the pool rolled my pants up, and just swished my feet in the pool a bit. Note to self: get over body image problems and buy a suit!

Eventually it was lunch time. Or was it? Those that went to the beach hadn’t returned and it was a bit after 3:00, so Dan brought out bread and a pepper spread and three of us enjoyed a slice of bread with the spread (plus beer). It’ll do. For now. (The spread was a purchase from yesterday while we were on the road and it was quite yummy!)

We heard from our friend Franka, and agreed to meet this evening, so knowing that, I took a bit of a short nap.

Then we hung out with the family (when everyone was back here), enjoyed fun times, and watched the sun set (photo of Dan and me is by Greg).

Later Dan called an Uber so we could get to Trogir. (We are actually in Zedno, I’ve learned … or at least I think we are!)

Meeting up with Franka was a treat … she took us around a bit and filled us in on the area. As we began there were some singers singing opera selections. We also walked out to the water — tons of yachts were parked there (I didn’t take any photos: I like the smaller boats more). I didn’t even realize there was an area like this — the stones remind me very much of Dubrovnik.

After walking around we sat down for some beer, and her sister and brother-in-law met up with us as well. It is now after midnight … time has flown by!

Thank you, Franka, for sharing your country with us!
