Odd Lovely Days of Danielle
So I decided while I was there to make it down to Sinj..but not before I ate some disgusting sandwhich that I had to take the meat off of...because veggie sanwhiches dont exsist...so just forget about it....It was great...a 4 hour bus ride....and it was just like riding a train...candies offered...hospitable....but the ride there was a bit tough because I was sick..the sore throat and running nose just got worse...so it was a bit uncomfortable...but none the less...it was the most amzing ride I have ever been on. I know where I would like to settle now...how beautiful a life it is there...the most lovely old houses..churches on a far away hill...this was another world..another planet...the biggest apples,peaches..pears lemons I have ever seen...I bought an apple in Split and it was so big I got full and couldnt finish it...that was a first...awesome grape vines...mountians...lakes...it was breath taking and only writing about it seems to just take so much away from it...it is a memory in time locked away for eternity. I love traveling alone because I just get to be and think about everything..It is always a moving expeirence. The sun was going down...aHHHHHHHHH....there are just no words.....we made a stop for the bathroom and there were a group of croatians all singing traditional songs around the accordian...it was quite a site to see...:) I finally make it to Sinj...really not sure..if I was even getting off on the right stop....but insticts said yes...I find the center...there are no taxis nor trains here...it is so quiant and small..very lovely...cafes everywhere lined the old city... every third shop was a meat market with animlas I couldnt identify..goats dripping with fresh blood...hanging whole cows...the most vicious visual deaths I had ever witnessed..every market was full of people carefully picking out their selections.....wow...no appetite please..made some phone calls. Found out where the hotel was...and then I was to set forth and find my family...this is where my sponaneity comes in...that was probably not such a good idea...for this trip needed planning..but I was optimistic and smiling and of course excited...I felt refreshed...but everyone definitely was staring at me...and stopped what they were doing when I passed by...A little akward....Find the hotel...No rooms of course that would happen...and the snidliest man I had ever met...well..I guess on to split...30 minutes away by bus...no big deal...so sinj was lovely..I walked away a little disappointed...but it was all worth it for the bus ride over here....Split...mmm..just as I remeber it. Taxi please...hotel globo...Hvala..trebi mi...molim..my croatian is doing quite well by the way....I was too tired to find a hostel...I just wanted a bed...because the staying out till 5 was starting to wear on me..
Got a place..quaint...tried to contact some people that I knew were going to be there...went in search for some food...found a sandwhich shop...can you believe it? Wow...but it was horrible...the veggies were rotted pratically...but I was so hungry I didn't care...Later I did but then it was like gold.....went back watched some discovery channel...and called it a night...I slept so well...The jet lagging is gone!!!!!!!!!!!!
Woke up got some coffee and headed out to catch my bus back to Zagreb...but not before I went to the market to pick up some gifts for the family...seeing the frantic child..was aweful...I remember those days of losing my mom in the store...finally getting a journal and being so desparate I just using a magazine which will probably be my new found journals to come...and well...it was amazing...being back here and to euroep again...I couldn't ask for anything more...I am completely happy...it overwhelms me...life is good...and I am so thankful to get these oppertunities...Now its a little more traveling..getting ready for school....it will be such a grand feeling mastering the deustche....meeting up with my new hostel friends...just getting settled...I never want to go back home....sigh...hopefully taking that hot air balloon ride finally...and many more adventures to come...I am excited--- I am in love with life.
