I'm not sure water can get any cleaner than this.

I'm not sure water can get any cleaner than this. Growing up in the US, the "best beaches" we were told to dream about from the covers of magazines and travel shows were usually in the Caribbean or in Fiji or some faraway oasis in the middle of the Pacific. Long stretches of bleached white sand and deeply turquoise waters were the only criteria that matter, or so they said.

After coming to Croatia, I was exposed to a different kind of beach. In my opinion, it's a better beach. Water so clean, you can see 10 meters down and sea urchins monopolize the coast. The rippling blues are so richly hued, the sea is practically slurpable. And the best part of all, THERE IS NO SAND (for the most part).

Sand is overrated. Like glitter, it gets into everything and sticks around for a decade.

Beaches in Croatia are all unique of different shapes and sizes and colors and configurations and I love them so much.

Which is your favorite beach in Croatia? Are you a sand, stone or pebble person?

It was an unexpectedly sunny day in Split. Weather

It was an unexpectedly sunny day in Split. Weather forecast made it sound like we would need an ark to survive. Instead we enjoyed bright blue skies all day. Mother Nature said "I think you've had enough rain and cold. But you better make the most of it." Well lady, thank you. I did. 😊

What did your Saturday look like?

What is this little dinghy trying to tell me as it

What is this little dinghy trying to tell me as it gets tossed around the stormy seas?

Nikad dosta, which means "never enough". Never enough what? Perhaps the beauty is in the brevity, leading us to finish the statement on our own.

But, I can't help but wonder what the dinghy owner had in mind when he painted those red and blue letters. Never enough sun? Never enough chocolate cake? Never enough Hajduk? Probably the latter honestly.

For me, never enough friends. Never enough tacos. Never enough Croatia!

What is your never enough?

Daydreaming of day sailing. This summer I explored

Peka with the family. Yesterday, nearly all of my

Peka with the family. Yesterday, nearly all of my favorite Split people carpooled out to the 600-year-old water mill called Antončin on the Žrnovnica river for a big fat lunch of veal peka.

Despite the wicked jugo and stormy skies, the sun shone down on us in this part of the river valley and gave us a reprieve from the wind just long enough to enjoy our lazy lunch.

Our soundtrack was the river rushing passed and drunk Dalmatians celebrating a child's Christening with lots of group song in a tent nearby. A glorious fall afternoon with fabulous people.

What did you do this weekend?

I. Just. Voted. The American president makes dec

I. Just. Voted.

The American president makes decisions that affect everyone in every country, including our Croatian neighbors. As Americans, we gotta do our part by voting early and often.

To all my fellow American expats, get your ballot in asap. If you can only mail in your ballot for your state (like me), send it with a courier. Regular mail is not enough this time as it does not guarantee that your ballot will arrive by November 3rd. Drop a little extra cash to help save democracy.

I used @dhl_global and my ballot will arrive to Texas in just 4 days.

Have you voted already or are planning to? Holla at me! Let me know in which state you are voting and where you live now.

Summer is drifting into the background. Spent most

Summer is drifting into the background. Spent most of my beach days this year outside of the city, on little patches of sparsley-populated pebbles. The sea has been absolutely glorious, cleaner than it has been in ages. May have been lot of bad this year, but there has also been a lot of wonderful.

Throwing it all the way back to this day in 2013.

Throwing it all the way back to this day in 2013. This was a memorable day in my old hood, back when there were just a couple of caffe bars and long before the cruise ship crowds. Gosh, I miss this moment in time as well as Mala Kavana, my first "local". Sadly it was torn down to build absolutely nothing. This was the site of many great memories of my first year in Croatia.

Today, I have a love story for you from one of my

Today, I have a love story for you from one of my readers called Tony. When I was up in Zagreb this summer, Tony asked that I check the front door of the train station for a lock, in case I passed by it. I did pass by and I did find the lock that him and his wife had put there 7 years ago. Why did they put this lock here? I'll let Tony tell you in his own words.

In 1979, I left a cold and snowy Leningrad by train to have a couple of weeks in the Greek sunshine before going to live in Australia.

On the train going through Germany I shared a carriage with a woman who was going to Vinkovci to see her parents. We got talking and it turned out that she and her English husband lived in a small village about three miles from my parents in England - quite a coincidence.

The train pulled into Zagreb railway station. The woman’s sister Slavica, who lived in Zagreb, was waiting on the platform. That was the moment I first saw Slavica - she looked amazing and spoke pretty good English and straight away I knew we would just get along. Because I had nowhere to stay, she let me stay at her flat for the night since we were travelling the same direction the next day - her to Vinkovci, me to Greece. In Vinkovci, we exchanged phone numbers and said goodbye to each other.

I went to live in Sydney, Australia for a couple of years. We didn't keep in touch but I did think about her so often. And then one day I was going to work and I just decided to return to the UK for a while. The day I arrived in England, the phone range at my parent's home and I just knew it was Slavica. She called to say that she was in England and had just arrived at her sister's place.

So I took her out the next day. We chatted forever and I fell in love with her there and then. We got married in England a few months later and have been together ever since. In 2013 on the day of our 30th wedding anniversary, we put a love lock on the station door of Glavni kolodvor in Zagreb to commemorate the first time we saw each other. Thankfully it is still there today and we are still married and wouldn't change a thing about our lives.
