Old City Nights

December 13th 2016
Great writers have a talent for placing their stories in spectacular locations that stand up to the masterful mix of words they are attempting to blend on a printed page. They use their imaginative powers to construct a town that serves as the canvas for the conversations and actions of their characters. The setting of a well told tale is sometimes as important as the stories themselves and can ev ... read more

In July of 2011, we made the decision to leave our comfortable jobs in Northern California to see the world. We weren’t sure where we were going to go or how long we would be gone, but we wanted an adventure and we knew we could find it if we looked carefully enough. We would travel slowly, staying in cities and towns for longer periods than most tourists have time for. Hopefully, it would give us an opportunity to observe local life in a unique way. In June of 2019, we completed our 8th consecutive year of travel. We visited 53 countries on 4 continents and travelled for 2873 straight da... full info

Such evocative words and photos!
Surely Dubrovnik is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and you two have captured it perfectly.

The winter festival and the frequent entertainment aimed more at the residents and you few tourists sounds lovely. I wonder where you will be for Christmas and New Years?

Thanks!
We found Dubrovnik to be one of the prettier places we have been. Dubrovnik was originally thought of as a Winter destination many years ago.

You do have to miss the beach though! Thank you for reading and commenting. We always appreciate your support.
