Šibenik & the Soccer Game

Daddy tried to get cash from the ATM machine, but it didn't work. He tried it 3 times, but it still didn't work. On the way to our car, we saw a dirty diaper on the street.

On the way out of the city,we drove through the industrial area.

The hills were prettier than the city.

 

The dirt was as red as Namibia.

The mountains got rockier.

Sam and I each had two Mozart Balls.

Eventually, the landscape looked a little bit like central Namibia( See “Back Into the Desert” ).

 

 

 

Sam got mad at me for taking pictures so he tried to block my picture.

Once, we saw a lake.

Then we came to the sea. It was in a town called Šibenik, along the shore of the bay. The shore across the bay was covered in trees.

 

We walked into the city through narrow alleys to a resturaunt with slow service. Every other shop had ice cream. Sam and I had spaghetti for lunch. After lunch, we walked over to a cathedral with a gruesome crucifix. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside.

Then, we went to the fortress through more narrow alleys.

Inside the fort, we got lemon ice cream. We also saw the Adriatic Sea.

From the top of the fort.

We kept driving to a city called Split, were we stayed in the second oldest building in Split. Daddy and Clara wanted to see a soccer game, so we had to go and wait in a line to buy tickets. In the stadium, the fans were obvious. They all started beating drums and waving hands. Then, they waved flags and put a tarp over everybody. Last, they lifted their scarfs up.

Daddy nicknamed player #5 on the white team “The Goon.” Can you see him?

The Goon is the one who the guy with the Orange shoes is pointing to.

At one point, I thought a fire had been started in the crowd. Then I realized that it was a flare.

The teams tied 2-2.
