We spent our day today in Croatia.  First, we walked in and about the port city of Zadar.

 

I’ve never been in Croatia before.  So this was all new to me.

 

Zadar is a very attractive city, and exceptionally clean.  I mean, no litter at all.  Immaculate.  We actually saw a man cleaning one of the streets with a vacuum cleaner.

 

We had an excellent lunch of local specialties at a restaurant called Proto.  I recommend it to anybody who visits Zadar.

 

During some free time, my wife and I went with another couple to a superb temporary exhibit of works by Marc Chagall.  He’s not, I confess, my favorite artist.  But I keep running into his work.  In the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, in the Fraumünster in Zürich, in other museums in various locations, and now in Zadar, Croatia.

 

By the way, the new “Rector’s Palace” Museum — it opened only two months ago — is a real gem.

 

After Zadar, we drove out to the Krka National Park, where we visited the waterfalls there.  Quite pretty.
