The Last Two Days in Bol were . . .

AMAZING! I feel so blessed to be here. I think an oppurtunity like this comes only once in a lifetime, excuse the cliche. Let me recount the last two days I had in Bol.

When I was getting ready to go out, I suddenly realized I'd promised to do dishes so I went about that diligently. I told Jenn I'd meet her at Zlatni Rat with the kids but I couldn't find her unfortunately after walking all the way to the tip of the beach. Zlatni Rat is supposed to be reallz famous due to the fact that the beach has less rocks. It is more like soft white pebbles that are reallz small and the water is really clear, just like a salty pool with a small current. I didn't want to pay for the lawn chair so I threw my pack on the pebbles and walked straight in and swam like a nut to the edge of the line. Here, they have these swimming lane lines that run far out so that boats don't go into swimming areas.

I lay on my back, enjoying not caring or worrying about anything for once. Some of you know that I can be a worrywart unless I'm left to my own devices. I tend to handle being completely alone really well. I looked for Jennifer and the kids or floatie but gave up at one point.

After I swam out, I lay my head right on the edge of the shore with the small tide rocking my bodz back and forth in the water, it was magic . . . my dream vacation.

Sorry if this is getting into a cheesy, making you jealous blog, but it really is magnificent here and I have a limited vocabulary here with a funny keyboard . . .

I went and lay on the pebbled beach until I had a pebbled dents along my right thigh. I am reading The Heart of Horses by Molly Gloss. Thank you Frances, really enjoying reading about main character Martha Lessen and her riding a string of horses around Utah . . .

I got up and grabbed an ice-cream which melted in my mouth. I walked quickly because I had the keys to the apartment. I worried that Jenn would try to get in and would be unable to. I got my shorts on and took a ride on the trampoline with the harness set. I flew twenty feet in the sky in pure bliss. I did backflips and felt weightless, let all my troubles just bounce onto the tramp. I got tired quickly though and switched to the regular tramp.

I ambled to the aprtment in the muggy heat and opened the apartment. I got on the internet and stuck slouching for 2 hours. Then I had a shower and got prettied up. I picked up some nougat and dropped off postcards. I licked up another ice-cream. Errrr, there are stands EVERYWHERE!!!!! Iresistible to lick while I let my feet dip in the water off a dock.

When I got back to the apartment, I tidied up and Jenn arrived. We hugged and exchange what happened. We ate out at Topolino's . . . . mz hour on the internet is gone already, agggg. I will come back tomorrow AM to this cafe to tell you about my last day in Bol and where I am now - Dubrovnik!
