Mošćenička Draga and Opatija, Croatia revisited




I arrived in Opatija (near Rijeka, referred to as the "Croatian Riviera") after I left Verona. I was greeted by my wonderful friends Kika and Amor. The rest was everything a vacation should be. Dining, drinking, smoking, and laughing with good friends. Sharing stories and watching bad music videos, hanging out on the beach and tending to sunburn the days following. I can't say enough about how much I love these folks. I can't wait to go back! I prepared carnitas for them and they loved it. I've been trying to get them to visit me, but as beautiful as Füssen is, we don't have the sea. In other words, I completely understand. On to the photos.

The seas were a little rough the first day I arrived, but the result was crystal-clear weather the next day so I can't complain.

A surfing doggie.

A new art installation near the seaside.

The dog beach.








A tasty seaside treat I learned about from my friends. The flavor is similar to celery.
