***Croatia Continued***

We had an amazing 10 days on the island 









We did a lot of intense lounging








...And Also Hiked and Climbed


Ryman and our friend Evelyn


Near our town





Scuba Steve!






Another Failed Attempt At Setting Up A SlackLine...
Is there anywhere in Europe that doesn't have rocks on the ground??
..And is Ryman ever not in his undies...seriously



The cutie Patootie that stayed at the B n B




. . . And We Ate Like Gods

Ryman's Uncle, Alfred, has 3 amazing gardens full of herbs, fruit and vegetables that we ate from everyday. With an endless supply of figs, Alfred constantly thought of new ways to use them and we were the lucky guinea pigs :)

These are just a few of the dishes!




Home-made Fig and Almond Pie (straight from the fig and almond tree :) )

 Old Wine Press, Every Night We Had Wine Made On the Island

  1. I went climbing at Smith Rock in Oregon the other day. They had like 3 highlines permanently set there. Like 500 ft off the ground and one was like 150ft long! I wanted to do it so badly, but then i was a little sissy. Keep posting!
