We were fortunate enough to spend much of our final time in Pula with the wonderful and adventurous Julie.

On Friday night we saw “Hauser and Friends” at the Pula Amphitheater; as I mentioned in my earlier post, this Roman amphitheater is the sixth largest in the world, so it was super cool even just to be in it, much less attend a concert there. Hauser is a famous cello player (part of 2Cellos for those of you in-the-know) and he was accompanied by some hot, talented, sexy friends and a symphony. He’s pretty hot himself–as Julie said, he’s kind of like Antonio Banderas if he were Croatian and a cellist. It was a delightful performance. Check out that venue! I never got tired of looking at it.

 

 

And then on Saturday, we took a bit of a hike/walk around the peninsulas near Pula. After a few close escapes–at one point Julie and Garett were clinging onto a wall over the sea–the hike ended with a swim in the Adriatic. The beaches in Croatia are really amazing, even for someone as heliophobic as I am. The water is clear and you can see all the fish swimming beneath you. It’s just heavenly.

Garett got a Fidel Castro hat to protect his pate.

 

Thank you to Julie and Siniša for letting us come visit. We had such a great time.
