Our Highlights in September
Dubrovnik From the Wall
We walked on the wall around Old Dubrovnik and saw brown tiles on roofs that had been destroyed during the war in 1992. The red clay of the original tiles could not be found. We also saw domes of churches, including St. Blaise, the Cathedral and St. Ignatius.

Sunset on Mljet
We took a ferry to the island of Mljet where we walked up lots of steps to the park. Then we took a water taxi to the rock with a Dominican Monastery. And from our hotel room with a balcony, we saw beautiful sunsets.

Korcula Bay
We took another ferry to Korcula Island and walked along the wall next to the sea, which was lined with eating places. Old Town Korcula has lots of stone houses, including one that is the birthplace of Marco Polo.

Visit From Hopeco
Back home in Connecticut, we attended a potluck supper at Noroton Presbyterian Church in Darien with friends from HopeCo in Tanzania and Kenya. HopeCo helps orphans and vulnerable children with education, food and medical needs.
