Dubrovnik, Take 2

With the drama of trials ratcheting up, accompanied by their daily litany of horror, everyone at work has been feeling a bit phased. So, a group of us decided to take off to Dubrovnik in Croatia (I was there in October too) for the weekend and escape the pesky, neverending Sarajevo winter. I drove for 5 hours from snowy mountains to sunny coast, took a dip in the Adriatic, climbed around the city walls, took a boat to a remote island, saw peacocks, killed several million brain cells and saw a few posters cheering on an indicted war criminal. All in a day’s work in the Balkans.





Clockwise from top left: 1. The definition of a happy man; 2. This Croatian fisherman is probably pretty happy too; 3. Poster for indicted war criminal General Ante Gotovina; 4. Peacock on the island.
