“In this spot you’ll see many crosses.” Our taxi driver from the Bucharest Airport had spent the last twenty minutes pointing out various plazas, buildings, and neighborhoods he thought might interest us. “They’re here as a memorial. Many people died here 27 years ago. I was there.” He went on to tell us that […]
Exploring Lokrum
Arriving in Dubrovnik with my short-term travel companions made the journey much more fun and relaxing (for me) than expected. By the time I had trudged up a million stairs with my oversized suitcase to my Airbnb, I was ready to meet up with my family and do some exploring. My Aunt Nancy, cousins Emma […]
