Hi All,
Pula is the site of extensive Roman ruins including this huge Ampitheater .
This first century BCE structure has held up remarkably well.
Some sections have been restored but an amazing amount of original structure remains.
This is the Arch of the Sergi, built by a private Roman family in 20 BCE to honor their family members.
Much of the old city consists of weathered limestone walls with air conditioners, in this case with a beautiful rose bush.
Next stop was Rovinj, another fortified town on the Istrian peninsula. The town had great scenic potential but a steady rain limited our sightseeing. Carl took this picture while Roberta & Sandy were jewelry shopping.
We have resisted the temptation to include "tourist brochure" photos but this image of Rovinj is stunning.
From back in the US, we got word that Grand Teton's iconic Grizzly Bear 399 has come out of hibernation with another cub. Carl & Sandy can't wait to get out there and see them.
Goodbye Croatia. After two nights in Venice and we are on the way home.
Love,
Sandy & Carl
