Croatia Part 1 - Zadar

I traveled to the Mediterranean in late October. Croatia to be more specific. I loved seeing the mixture of architecture (Roman influence, Soviet influence, and even some of the destruction from the civil war about a decade ago).

Here are some pics from the trip.

Church in old town Zadar. It was build on top of a Roman forum

More churches on the other side of the street

I'm inside the church in the first picture. The round building.

Part of the Sea Organ art display. These are solar cells that power the sea organ and light display

There was a regatta during the weekend in the Adriatic. It was pretty neat to watch.

One of the Croatian hosts took us to his boat club. There was a pretty neat party. This is a big pot of...

...mussels!!! So tasty! The third best meal in Croatia.

I wonder how much this "pot" is worth in the States

View from the top of the church in picture 1.

Local alcohol. It's good with tonic.

Squid?
