the impetus for this trip to croatia was largely to see dubrovnik.  i had heard so much about this magical city, and yes, even though it was crowded and sometimes hot, it was just as magical as people have described.  the cliffs, the red roofs, the winding stone streets, the shining diamond of the ocean…i still see it all in my dreams.  there are very few places that i feel the urge to revisit, but dubrovnik is certainly on that list.
