A recommendation: Hvar, Croatia!

Would I go back to Hvar, Croatia and recommend this place: most definitely! My wife and I spent the first five days of our honeymoon here in late July. Croatia was in the middle of a heat wave topping 100ยบ most days. No matter, the temperately cool water is refreshing to enter as it is look at! We could not get enough of the local fresh foods which included anchovies, sea water cured wild capers, in season lavender, ripe figs, both red and white wines and vinegars to mention a few. The red wine, Plavac, is the most dominate on Hvar and I would liken it to Zinfandel (red).

See our short HD video on scootering through the hills of Hvar to walking the streets of Hvar Town here. The end of the video has many of the still pictures I took on our visit as well as a sample of Croatian music. Stay tuned for posts on four other locations we visited on our honeymoon.

Married – Telly & Eric

I joined Telly & Eric at their home where they readied and had an intimate tea ceremony among close family. It was a colorful affair, both literally and figuratively, five dresses with hair changes to match, each more stunning then the other, made by hand by Telly’s mother!

Hudson River Plane/Helicopter Crash!

This is the second time this year I’ve experience first hand a crash meters from my front door. Watching the news report this sadly is not a miracle as the last crash was. I was able to snap a few pictures that were published by CNN. You can see the report on CNN here.
