A morning walk through Split........

Farmer's Market
Hanging laundry and the hillsides of Split

Lawrence and I walked into town from the Hotel Jadran this morning, as we do every morning. This is the view from the promenade. The days are warm, the sun is hot and there is an occasional whiff of cigarette smoke in the air along with the distinct smell of fish as fishermen are loading their fish for the fisherman's market. To the left of our promenade walk are buildings similar to the ones you see on the upper right corner. If you click on the image, the image becomes larger. Split has a wonderful farmer's market which sells cheese, peaches, fruits of every measure, tomatoes, and vegetables. And they sell local wine in the plastic water 1-1.5 liter plastic bottles along with home-pressed olive oil and grappa (aka as "white lightening", distilled alchohol made from the remains-stems, grape seeds-of the grapes pressed for wine). The town is very picturesque, laundry hangs everywhere and adds to the romantic quality of Split.
