It's hot.

"You know it's hot when the sight of chocolate fondue makes you want to die."

This pretty much sums up our thoughts on the heat right now. As Jennifer so eloquently put it, even CHOCOLATE turns us off, especially when it's melted over an open flame.

But aside from the heat, Dubrovnik has been great. We haven't done a single touristy thing since we got here and we have loved every minute of that. We lazed on the beach, went swimming in the Adriatic Sea, ate some awesome seafood. The first night here we had some sure enough fish...head and bones and all. And some fabulous mussels that had to have been made with no fewer than 100 cloves of garlic. The next night, we decided to try some genuine Croatian food. So we found the first restaurant that said "Genuine Croatian Food!" on the door and sat down. On the menu? Fish with head and bones and all and mussels with 100 cloves of garlic. So we had genuine Croatian food twice. And both times it was really good.

Yesterday was the best. We chartered a sailboat and a skipper named Niko and sailed for 4 or 5 hours to the island of Mljet (pronounced myet). Niko filled us in on a couple of island legends and the fact that he heard that women in Maryland have less than stellar bathroom habits ("These a-ladies....they do-a nasty things!"). Other than that, he let us lay out/nap on the deck. Napping while sailing the Adriatic Coast = one of the coolest things ever.

Tomorrow we fly to Rome for our last day of Sisterfest. We don't plan on seeing any of Rome this time though. We do plan on ordering room service at the airport Hilton and swimming in their very chlorinated pool. It's going to be great. We may even order a movie.

We miss you and can't wait to be home in only 2 days!
