This morning we were rewarded with a sunny and dry day, at least until noon! I hurried downtown and walked around the city to take some photos before the rain returned. Then back home for more salsa dancing!
Discussing how nice the weather is. Not knowing that rain would make it's appearance in a few hours.
Oh no, where is the sun? I got soaked on my way to the bus stop. Forgot my umbrella at home. Don't you hate when that happens?
What do you like to do on a rainy day?
Is that blue/purple flower a clematis? When we lived in Charleston, S.C., the clematis bloomed in February. Here, they bloom in June and for the rest of the summer. Right now, nothing is blooming but, like in Croatia, it is raining. The rain has melted all the dirty snow. Hoorah! Great photos from your day out.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures!
ReplyDeleteOur kids love playing hide and seek when indoors and we want to run around a little bit. Another favorite is also to dance to whatever music is on the radio and dancing with the Wiggles.
love the salsa... gonna dance with my baby girl, thx! gorgeous pics...
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures! Wouldn't have known it was raining, in the earlier shots.
ReplyDeleteWhat do I do on a rainy day? I stay in. Heck, I stay in rain or shine. I really need to get out more.
Bonnie, I'm not sure what type of flower is, but next time I'm out, I will take a close-up photo. I thought it was so pretty wrapped around the tree.
ReplyDeleteThais,
ReplyDeleteIt's fun dancing to salsa isn't it?
@Juanita, It wasn't raining in the earlier pictures, it was after visiting the market, that the rain began to "sprinkle".
ReplyDeleteI too prefer to be indoors when it's raining.
HT,
ReplyDeleteI think dancing is a great activity to do with you kid(s) regardless of age, and it's fun!
I guess I am to much a Dutchman (constructed like a wooden shoe) to dance, even better (or worse) I hate to dance.
ReplyDeleteNo, don't try to drag me to the dancefloor, because I react like a magarac (donkey).
More my style is to enjoy every type of weather, being rain, snow, wind or sun.
So on a rainy day I do whatever I like to do, in or out.
And by the way, Splitska Riva (the boulevard) is still horrible to see with those strange steel structures.
Come on mr. Kerum, be THE man to change it back to "those happier days".
Pim, so you are one of the people that dislikes the new look, I read about the controversy the new construction had amongst the citizens of the city. I like it either way but then again I can't remember the way it was before since I only visited Split a few times in the past, before the construction.
ReplyDeletei am so incredibily jealous of the fact you live in Croatia! my husband and I almost honeymooned in Dubrovnik and are determined to go there for a vacation. Ah, i am just left to dream of european living..
ReplyDeleteQue rico! They're fab! I loved that first tune with the sea motif. Me encantan. Thanks for the introduction.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
It looks so beautiful there! It's been raining here too! I like to cuddle up and watch movies and nap when it's rainy!
ReplyDeletenever liked the rain & still don't like it in Amman!! But haha it doesn't rain that much here :) (BIG SMILE!!!!) but i stay inside when it happens... unless it's warm then I love walking under the rain! Love the pics - specially the one at the market.
ReplyDeleteI am going to visit Croatia for the first time in August. Looking so much forward to it.
ReplyDeleteGlad I found your blog :-)
Oh these are amazing! I love to travel and these make me want to hop on plane.
ReplyDeleteI moved back to the states around Christmas. I miss the ocean and island weather but I like all the new opportunities here in the states too. It's good to be near family again.
great fotos! Los ajos!
ReplyDeleteLauren, Dubrovnik is a beautiful city! Hopefully you can travel soon, for the time being, I'm happy to share my photos.
ReplyDeleteHey Cuban glad I was able to share a new band. Maybe you can learn a few croatian words from the songs? LOL
ReplyDeleteBabs,
ReplyDeleteMy favorite memory of my childhood was in Mexico when it would rain and you could smell the "earth".
Hi Britt, where in Croatia are you traveling to? It must be a nice getaway from all that snow, how is the weather in Norway during the summertime?
ReplyDeleteJanna, I can imagine you must miss the ocean and warm weather. But like you said, its a wonderful wonderful opportunity for your little one, to be with family and new surroundings.
ReplyDeleteCris, would you like me to bring some ajos back to the States with me? LOL or lavender maybe. I can do that.
ReplyDeleteI love your pictures. I have always wanted to visit Croatia and now I am even more inclined. Thanks! And happy dancing!!
ReplyDeleteThese days WINTER was back to us!A couple of days we had blizzard like in January...What would you do in a situation like that?
ReplyDeleteRegarding that and looking at your beautiful photos, I can say that I've come to like the rain.
And yes, this music is contagious!...
Thank you!
Enjoy your life in Croatia, even when it's raining and you forgot the umbrella!
ooooh fantastic pics!
ReplyDeletethanks for your lovely comment in my blog.
Who would have thought? a Mexican living in Croatia raising a Trilingual(?) daughter, how cool!

PS. best recipe for a rainy day? Movie, chocolate cookies, a couch and my Mr. Octopus on my side! :)
Alecia, thank you! Hope you also dance with Belen, she is a cutie!
ReplyDeleteMihaela, we are very lucky we haven't had any snow in Split. So sorry to hear "winter has returned" to Romania. I'm glad you enjoyed the songs!
ReplyDeleteCarmen thanks for stopping by! My mom is very proud of how her 'roots' are expanding across the globe. I agree with you , I would have never guessed that this mexican girl was going to be living in Europe and much less raising our daughter here. WE are very blessed.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous! Even rainy days seem prettier, there. It's been rainy in the US too, so I've been doing a lot of reading and sewing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
i love the market pictures! i love to curl up and read on a soft spot on a rainy day. :)
ReplyDeleteRuth, thank you. I love reading. I've always wanted to learn how to sew but never got around to doing it, maybe now is a good time to start.
ReplyDelete@tinypaperheart and hear the rain drops on the window, and enjoying a cup of hot chocolate!
ReplyDeletewow, girl, you make me feel like I should be on the next plane to Croatia - rain and everything!!
ReplyDeleteHa,ha Elisa, thanks, so when is your flight out?
ReplyDeleteI loooove Cubismo very much! They're great :)
