Greetings from Croatia! Today, we left a rainy Verona behind around 8:30 in the morning for about a six hour bus ride (including two stops for the bathroom and lunch as well as customs in both Slovenia and Croatia) to Porec, Croatia.
Some of the guys on the beach near the hotel.
Porec is a small town on the Istrian Peninsula with about 12,000 inhabitants. We're staying at the Zagreb Hotel which is very close to the beach and about a 15 minute walk from the center of the village. Its also within walking distance of the historic 1500 year old basilica where we will be singing Mass and a concert tomorrow evening.
After arriving at Porec, many of the guys got a chance to head down to the beach to soak up the sun, toss some frisbee, run, or even venture out into the water despite the cool temperature of the water. This evening we had a dinner buffet which included all sorts of salad, fruit, beef, fish, potatoes and desserts.
After dinner, the guys went down to the beach again where we had our traditional nickname ceremony where all of the new guys on tour got their new "fake" and "real" nicknames from the old guys. Tomorrow we'll be touring the city and singing our concert at the basilica!
