Nothing Says Christmas Like Citrus Fruit


Merry Christmas Everyone!!

So here in Croatia the weather is somewhere in the 50's during the day and 40's at night. Its gorgeous outside today and here is a view of the beginning of our sunset:





We all have our traditions and here, children go caroling from house to house on Christmas Eve. The carolers are then given oranges or apples by the people they visit unfortunately the youth of today has ruined this great tradition of healthy snack offerings by demanding money. Now coins are giving out to the carolers instead. Granted the largest coin in 5 Kuna which is about 87¢ but still…

You may be wondering about the title. There are a lot of oranges here. I mean A LOT! Every ones trees are just now ripe enough to pick so they are the over all Christmas decoration. Here are some of the decorations on Stradun in Old Town:
The Sign for the Christmas Market 
The Christmas Market 


This is what I meant by lots of oranges



Stradun at night

There are arches like this on every street off Stradun



And here are Zack and my Christmas decorations:


Look what I made!
