Scenic pictures of Marjan Hill and a Fashion Show

Friday was a beautiful sunny day and I enjoyed the morning with two of my friends walking around Marjan Hill. I think we walked at least 10 kilometers if not more. Marjan (pronounced "maryan"), a dormant volcano on the peninsula of Split , offers beautiful views of the city and surrounding islands. Let's see what my backpack saw. Oh dear, now I sound like Dora !!!


A few more kilometers ahead and you can see the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries.



Park Bene.

Afterwards we sat and enjoyed our refreshments, fresh squeezed lemonade and watched a few models prepare for the Europe Future Fashion show. Takes place this weekend if you're interested in attending, you still one more day left! For more details you can click here .

    My neck of the woods.... celebrated a friend's birthday in NYC last night. It's been soooo hot here – like almost 90 degrees. But we had a great time. Today = yardwork with my brother.

    Dubai. It's very hot now, the sea is too warm, holidays time! Your daughter's "language" makes me smile, all expat children speak their "own" mixture of languages, which sometimes sounds a mess but it's amazing that once they grow up(school age), they can perfectly differentiate between the languages and jump from one to another without problems!
