And then the gloves came off..... Feb. 5

JULIE-
Ok Becks (or as I have come to call her, Princess Red Bitch) yes I need a constant IV of alchohol to handle all the genius that comes out of your mouth all day....here are my personal favorites:

˝I wonder if this post office mails things....˝

˝This ice tea says it has peach in it...what do you think it tastes like?˝

When I¨m not taking pictures Im just trying to make it look like I dont know you, FYI.

Were in an internet cafe across the street from our hotel right now and its evening here....the keyboards take some getting used to: the Y and Z are switched, and the punctuation keys are all over the place but its ok.

We slept in till noon today to get caught up on sleep as we have really been staying busy. We went for a hike to the top of a castle across the street from us, then hiked around for awhile and ended up climbing on some rocks around the shore. The sea here (Adriatic) is so blue and beautiful...Ive never seen anything like it. We went and got sandwiches and ate then back at our room, then walked around old town for awhile and got some great sunset and night-time pictures.

The people here seem to have a love/hate relationship with tourists....some seem friendly, others not so much. Weve found it REALLY helps to try your best to speak Croatian, even though they end up correcting us, they seem very accepting after that. I imagine it will be like that once we get to Paris as well. Tomorrow we leave Dubrovnik for Venice, and Becky is obsessed with staying in some red-carpet hotel thing...honestly, Princess Red Bitch, apparently you get to Europe and think youre royalty or something....whatever.

We really need to ship some goodies home as our luggage looks like its about to give birth....were hoping to take care of that tomorrow morning. Id like to mail some postcards from here but need to ditch the Princess to go to the post office because Becky pissed the lady off there the other day: ˝Dont you people have Fed Ex around here?˝ So Ill need to ditch her for awhile....wish me luck.

Gotta go...the Princess wants dinner and Ill be needing a beer soon.
