So apparently Jesus died on this day a few years ago. This is a fairly big deal in 90%+ catholic Croatia. We're going to try to go to the Good Fridaz service in Zagreb's 13th century Cathedral. We'll see if it works out.

Tid bit 3: Produce here is incredible. I didn't used to like tomatoes. Now I do. Just went back to the open air market to reload. Also bought some hand made goat cheese from the cutest babushka who chased me through the market because I left before I got back all of my change.

Since last writing I met up with Karin a Brent. Yesterday was spent walking about with said pair. The weather was beautiful and shined a light on what is definitely a vastly superior quality of life here. Maybe I'm just seeing the nice parts. The communist bauhaus high rises that I passed on mz way from the airport didn't quite give the same impression.

Tid bit 4: Impromptu, I became the subject of a photography class yesterday who captured every angle of me looking at maps and taking pictures of St. Marks chuch in the upper town. The light was really beautiful... it probably brought out the best in me... although they weren't enthused when I offered to do a nude.

Today: We rent a car for the day and go see castles and vineyards in the countryside North-East of the city.

From the Vip in Zagreb with love.
