This post was inspired by an exchange I had with a friend right before Meghan and I headed out to go sit on a beach here in Split, Croatia. (I used scare quotes in the title, because the beaches here are less your winter-white sandy type that you find in Florida and more of just a place where the rocky land meets the sea. The water is gorgeous, though.)
In the exchange with my friend, I wanted to show him what Eastern Europe is like. Well, at least this tiny bit of Eastern Europe, which is in some respects representative of what we’ve seen in other Eastern European cities, but also like what we’ve seen all over Europe. It’s also its own place.
To illustrate a bit what Split is like, I took a series of pictures over the 45 minutes we walked from our Airbnb to a beach in a Marjan Park. I say “a bit,” because nowhere here are pictures of Diocletian’s Palace, which is what this city is know for, and indeed is large part of it, geographically and symbolically.
Apologies for the portrait orientation of most of these pictures – my MMS app doesn’t do landscape.
