Following Berlin, I flew to Split, Croatia, the birthplace of my paternal grandmother. I spent 6 days there touring all around the city, and meeting my 2nd cousins Silvana Blašković and Zoran Marinković. They were great hosts and added more pieces to the puzzle of my family history and heritage.

A great sunset on the Adriatic is coming.

Euro Tour :: Spain, Part III (Barcelona Edition)

Following my stay in Split, I caught a flight to Barcelona. Very interesting place, and unlike the other parts of Spain in look, feel, attitude. The weather was not great, so limited my access somewhat, but found a few windows to see the Cathedral, Montjuic Park with great panoramic city and Mediterranean views, and the Sagrada Familia (which I'll post separately). Enjoy!
