Hi all, quote:
ORIGINAL: Symon You know, Leo, there are so many places in that wonderful world we call the Med. Your pic of Dubrovik reminds me much of the towns and harbors of South France and Italy. I have sailed often in the Med, and once in the Aegean. But never in the Adriatic. Dubrovnik is frikkin beautiful. I'm one of those people that hates the Bauhaus paradigm. Has a place, but the place should be out of sight and put where econ assholes can get to them comfy. But has a price, The occupants are alone. Real places for real people need to be just like they were. I love the red roof tiles; I love the whitewash; I love the closeness of one house to another; I love the absolute salsa of living next to your neighbors.. Been to a few places like that. Drank the local booze, tried to dance the local dances, just sucked it all in and appreciated it. It's places like that, that remind us of our human condition and heritage. God love you all for putting Dubrovnik back into condition. I'm probably too old to visit, but young enough to understand what you did. May God keep you and hold you in His hand. Ciao. JWE Thanks John! The old whitewash stone (centuries old) is really something to be seen and appreciated... Leo "Apollo11"
