When in... Croatia....?

If you didn't get it from Mike's post, we are here on the beach, and you readers are most likely not. (Just thought I'd rub it in a little more).



To recap, since Venice, we have sung in two back-to-back masses at St. Anthony's Basilica in Padua.




We then clamored over to Croatia and finally landed on the beach.



Yeah, the water is cold, but it's worth it.

The next day, we walked around Poreč and a few of us escaped to get some rays. The meals here are buffet-style, and the hotel is catered to tourists. (That means there was bacon and eggs this morning).

This evening, we sang a well-attended concert in Eufrazijeva Bazilika.






Although it is one of the more modest churches we have seen on this tour, it is among the oldest, dating back to sometime in the 6th century A.D.




Tomorrow we leave the coast and head inland to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. On the way, we will wander around a Croatian national park which is known for its lakes and waterfalls. But now, we bid you good evening from the sunny beaches of the Adriatic Sea.
