Primošten is a village on the Adriatic coast of Dalmatia between Šibenik (to be explored) and Trogir (see Birthday Week Exploration). In the past the village was located on an islet close to the mainland. During the Turkish invasion in 1542 it was protected by walls and towers and a draw bridge connected it to …
I’ve been meaning to write up a post and share photos from the last of our birthday exploration and the rest of our month for weeks. Our first weeks back to work were crazy busy and we’ve been working on a big decision, so finding the time just didn’t happen. What big decision you might …

We arrived in Split in the morning by ferry. The first views of the city were absolutely stunning. It was nearly impossible to believe that we would be living in this place that looked straight out of a fantasy novel for a year. For our first three months here we have an AirBnB apartment across …

We are perhaps overly cautious, but that works for us and our high anxiety personalities. We scheduled our last COVID booster vaccine so that our peak protection would be while we were traveling. …
