Greetings from Zagreb (Eric)

We are sitting in an internet cafe called Cyber Funk Cafe. It is a combination smoothie bar internet cafe with really tasty smoothies. We are enjoying ourselves immensely in this charming city. It has many of the attractions of other European cities, the Gothic architecture, the street cafes, the ability to walk from location to location, minus the larger crowds. I have been hearing and reading that Croatia is an undiscovered tourist destination, and I am happy to report that this is true. I find this city to be a fascinating combination of old world charm and modern conveniences. We have been leisurely exploring the city all day, and we have stumbled across some wonderful sites, including a street concert, a farmer´s market (where we bought a .5 kilo of cherries), a few beautiful  cathedrals and churches, and wandered into a museum that had some fascinating sculptures. We are walking back to our apartment from a botanical garden - peaceful and quiet - to get ready for dinner at what looks to be an interesting place called Mano. We will try to post pictures later - I forgot to bring the cable with me.
