Listen to something jazzy and Brazilian while you view the slide show, will you? Not because this is Rio, no – far from it. But while I was trying not to breathe to get half decent night shots, a very lovely Brazilian singer and cello player were playing jazzy things in a nearby restaurant.
This is Hvar, one of the many lovely islands off the Croatian coasts. The funny thing was that it was full of Italian, French, and Spanish tourists. Don’t they have beaches a little closer to home?



Very nice pictures. Looks like this area would be a great place to visit and relax.
