On our 9 hour drive to and from
Medjugorje, we drove south through Austria, Slovenia, and Croatia. We broke up the drive by spending the night in Croatia each way.
On the way down we didn't visit any exciting places, but on the way back we had lunch and some time to play at Bacvice Beach in Split, Croatia.
It was around 50 degrees F but that didn't stop these guys from playing some sort of water soccer game.
We had a great American lunch at Papa's American Bar!
The drive we had through Croatia was pretty mountainous (but much smaller, and less snowy, than the mountains near us in Austria).
That evening we stayed in Zagreb, the northwestern capital of Croatia. We went to Mass in the center of Zagreb, at the Gothic, twin-spired Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, aka the Zagreb Cathedral. It is the tallest building in Croatia and the most monumental Gothic style building southeast of the Alps.
Happy Fourth Week of Advent!
