Photo Appendix

In this section, each of us will share some of our favorite photos from our journey. Please enjoy!!


Andie's Favorites:

Throughout the trip, our teaching assistant Anja was having us all pose for a group photo. It was often the case that she had as many as eight cameras as everyone wanted to ensure they got the shot on their camera.

Above is an example of one of the many shots Anja took of the group. This photo was taken in Pula, Croatia.

This is a picture of the old and the new. This shot was taken on the bridge in Mostar, which spans the river Neretva. My right foot is on the original bridge which was built in the 16th century. The bridge was destroyed during the war in 1992, and it was rebuilt and reopened in 2004. My left foot is on the new part of the bridge.

We were given to opportunity to go to many of the museums in Zagreb. One such museum was the Museum of Broken Relationships. This was a place where people could donate artifacts of past relationships. Donations came from romances that had ended, from those who felt they no longer fit in with the religion they were born into, or others who has lost relationships with their families. Some of the stories were full of despair, while others were humorous. This was an artifact that stated “the only thing left of a great love was citizenship.” It was a fantastic little museum!

 

This is a sunset from our last evening in Makarska. It was hard to leave such a beautiful place!



Morgan's Favorites:

The group cutting loose at Plitvice.

The dogs in Croatia are somehow just slightly more adorable than any others. 

Peter's likeliness to Mestrovic's Moses was eerie (but mostly hilarious). 

The only sunset I caught in Makarska.

Jeff getting sassy with me. I only made him take approximately 43 solo shots throughout the trip. His mom will be grateful, right?

This picture was taken of the group I traveled with to Croatia. We all met in the Atlanta airport for the first time. It is one of my favorites because it was at the beginning of our adventure. Little did I know how great of friends we would all become by the end. 

I had to include a picture of the flowers in Croatia. They are by far some of the prettiest I have ever seen. 

Although by the end of the trip I was ready for some food from home, I really enjoyed the meals we had in Croatia. This is an example of one of the many we had on our trip which included soup, salad, chicken, veal, and potatoes. I really enjoyed indulging in the Croatian culture during meals and sharing them with the group around me. 

FRANJO! Here is the best driver I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Our group adopted him as one of our own. He was a great sport driving us safely to our destinations. You can read all about him through out our blog and see a picture of his amazing parking skills. 

Need I say any more. If we could have I know we would have put as many pictures of all the amazing views that we saw in Croatia on the blog. This is just one of my favorites because it was one of the first times we saw water that lead to the Adriatic.
