In June, three days after finishing teaching in Prague, my friend Becca and I set off for vacation. The first stop on my 3-week trip was Croatia, which until I moved to Prague was not really a place I had high on my "must visit" list. Czechs LOVE vacationing in Croatia and after just an hour there, I could completely understand why. The Croatian coast is absolutely stunning! After a hectic year, it was wonderful to wander around town, enjoy amazing food, and cool off in the sea. It was a wonderful, relaxing start to my holiday!

Everyone was out to watch the Croatian match in the Euro Cup - sadly they lost. But it was fun to be out in the excitement! |

Cavtat - view from our Couch surfing hosts' house. We only stayed one night, but would have never seen this small town near Dubrovnik had we not stayed there. We ended up staying in Cavtat 2 nights as we liked it there more than Dubrovnik. |

Gorgeous photos as always! I'm claiming partial credit for your creeper shot of the man with the dog since I had to be "lookout" ;)
