Whytney will be in Dubrovnik, Croatia today. A beautiful place that has a lot of history. I hope that she is able to visit this lovely place, if not today, sometime before the end of her contract.
The City Walls
The city walls were originally constructed in the 10th century, although fortified considerably in 1453. They are 3m thick along the sea wall, and 6m thick inland. The Old Town has fortresses at its four corners, which are the Minceta Tower , Revelin Fortress, St John's Fortress, and Bokar Bastion.

Some interesting things that I found out about Croatia:
A Croatian, Eduard Penkala invented the fountain pen in 1906. He named it pen, deriving it from his family name!
AND:
The dogs that we love so much from 101 Dalmatians, are actually named after Dalmatia in the Croatian Adriatic.
Whytney may be able to stroll along the streets of Dubrovnik and see:
Hope that Whytney had a great sea day yesterday and is feeling even better today! Only a day or two until another day off to enjoy Venice, Italy.
55 days to go....
