Hot times in the city

While Chicago/most of the US is sweltering in record-breaking heat, rest assured that we are not escaping the heat or humidity over here either. Korcula had a lovely breeze which kept it pleasant in the shade most of the time, but back on the mainland today, that breeze seems to have disappeared. Even when we stopped for drinks outside on Dubrovnik's city walls, overlooking the Adriatic, it was sweltering in the shade. I was jealous of the people swimming in the sea below us.

After dinner, Old Town was much more pleasant, when temps dropped to the mid 80s and humidity levels seemed to drop a wee bit too. Old Town's Stradun (main drag) is hopping at night, with busy restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, and people just strolling and soaking it all in (while eating gelato). We had a fantastic dinner of Bosnian meats (including the Jengis Kan aka Ghengis Khan platter) and fried dough at what seemed to be the most popular restaurant in town, in a little side alley within Old Town. And why wouldn't you name your Bosnian restaurant Taj Mahal? Only slightly misleading (and undoubtably disappointing to those hoping for Indian food). So completed another fantastic food day, with our seafood lunch (oysters, mussels, etc) on the bay in Mali Ston being one of our top meals yet!
