This first part of December has been restful and busy all at once. We’ve mailed a Christmas package home to family (fingers crossed it arrives). We’ve celebrated Cirrus’ 3rd birthday.

Since our last update there has been one weekend we were down. We had Jugo headaches and Daniel had a grease burn from making a roux for a black eyed peas and sausage soup he made. So we took a weekend and just rested at home. The soup was delicious. Our dog park friends helped
Primošten is a village on the Adriatic coast of Dalmatia between Šibenik (to be explored) and Trogir (see Birthday Week Exploration).

We returned to the Žrnovnica River for a short walk on a busy October Saturday. We parked in the same place as our last visit and walked towards the sea this time. It was as lovely and clear as ever. Cirrus was upset the water was colder than our last visit but insisted on checking
